MOGADISHU (SD) – Somali President Hassan Sheikh and opposition leaders, led by former President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, are holding their third meeting today in Mogadishu.

Today’s meeting will focus on resolving disputes over the 2026 election format and potential constitutional amendments.

The outcome of this meeting is being closely watched, as the two previous talks failed to reach an agreement.

This meeting is expected to produce important decisions that could change the 2026 election process and the implementation of constitutional reforms.

The results of this third meeting are highly anticipated, and many hope it will lead to key agreements that shape Somalia’s political future.

However, there are serious concerns that if the talks fail, Somalia could enter a new phase of political conflict, with the 2026 elections becoming contentious and disputed.
