Somalia’s top leaders are trading blame after the collapse of the much-anticipated talks meant to provide certainty on elections.
The blame game ensued on Wednesday evening, dampening optimism that had been expressed earlier in the week, going into talks.
Information Minister Osman Dubbe admitted there had been no progress from the initial sessions and that leaders had fallen out. He criticised leaders of Jubbaland and Puntland states for what he called lack of flexibility on the agenda.

After failing to hold elections in December last year, Somalia is tipping beyond a failed state as political statehooders plot to push President Muhammed Abdullahi Farmaajo out of office.
A report by the Heritage Institute for Policy Studies released on March 7, 2021, says Somalia has been dismally underperforming in key benchmarks of good governance namely, rule of law, government effectiveness, political stability, public participation, accountability, transparency, and control of corruption.
Somalia is thus consistently ranked as one of the world’s least transparent and the most corrupt countries, further eroding public confidence.
