Somalia's political crisis is entering a new phase.

What began as a disagreement over election modalities is evolving into a struggle over legitimacy, power, and the future constitutional order.

The opposition has unveiled an alternative electoral framework, while mediation efforts have yet to bridge the divide.

The stakes are rising.

U.S. strikes ISIS in Puntland — again.

On April 20, U.S. AFRICOM carried out precision airstrikes targeting ISIS-Somalia fighters in the Bari region, coordinated with Puntland authorities.

Somalia has crossed into a dangerous constitutional moment. Parliament’s mandate expired on April 14, yet MPs remain in office without a clear legal basis, while leadership is pushing for a one-year extension to stay in power and quiet discussions of resignations begin to surface.

At the same time, disputes over the electoral process remain unresolved and the legitimacy of key institutions is increasingly questioned, leaving a government that continues to function but without a solid constitutional foundation.
