Somalia Election Deadlock: Talks between Somalia’s federal government and opposition in Mogadishu ended without agreement, as the dispute over moving to a one-person, one-vote system—and whether the current mandate should be extended—deepens. Baidoa Security: A national funeral was held for two senior Somali army commanders killed near Baidoa, while the army says it killed 50 al-Shabaab fighters in a counteroperation after an ambush. Famine Warning: UN agencies warn Somalia is sliding toward renewed famine, with nearly 6 million people acutely food insecure and Burhakaba flagged as extremely critical if aid and rains fail. Humanitarian Aid: Russia delivered 25 tonnes of food aid to Mogadishu as hunger pressure rises. Regional Security Spillover: South Korea is sending a 4,400-ton destroyer to support anti-piracy operations off Somalia, amid wider maritime chaos linked to the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
