Former federal internal security minister Abdullahi Mohamed Noor resigned as senior adviser to Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud late Sunday, citing persistent political deadlock that he said directly threatens the country\u2019s fragile governance.<\/p>\n
The resignation, announced on social media, lands at a critical moment as Somalia\u2019s political factions remain locked in a dispute over the expiration of the federal government\u2019s mandate, set for 15 May. Local analysts say Mr Noor\u2019s departure signals widening rifts inside the Villa Somalia presidency just weeks before a potential constitutional crisis.<\/p>\n
Mr Noor, who served as a lead adviser on countering violent extremism, did not specify immediate grievances but described the political environment as \u201cobstructive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cToday I resigned from my post as senior adviser to the President,\u201d Mr Noor wrote in a Facebook statement seen by this newsroom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
He added that he would soon address the Somali public directly on the political disagreements he believes are holding back national progress.<\/p>\n
A source close to the former minister, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Mr Noor had grown frustrated with what he viewed as the administration\u2019s inability to bridge differences with opposition leaders over electoral reforms.<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s office has not yet issued an official response. However, a senior government official, who declined to be named, rejected claims of a crisis: \u201cThe government continues to function legally under the parliament\u2019s approved extension. Individual resignations do not reflect a breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n
Opposition leaders have vowed to reject any government actions taken after 15 May, raising fears of a return to parallel administrations. Mogadishu residents have expressed growing unease, with some civil society groups urging both sides to resume dialogue.<\/p>\n
Mr Noor\u2019s exit follows the recent departure of a former intelligence chief and a senior ruling-party official from key advisory roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
