 A high-level security meeting was held in the capital, Mogadishu, chaired by the Somali Police Commander, General Salb Ahmed, and the Governor of Banadir Province and Mayor of Mogadishu, Yusuf Hussein Jumaale “Madali”, to enhance the safety of the capital.

The meeting was attended by key figures, such as the Director of the National Intelligence and Security Agency, Abdullah Muhammad Ali (Sanbululshi), representatives of the police forces, district commissioners, and other government officials. The meeting came in the wake of a meeting held by the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud, with the Somali police, stressing the importance of maintaining peace in the capital.

Both Police Chief General Selb and Governor Jumaale stressed the need to develop a comprehensive strategy to combat security threats and ensure the safety of Mogadishu residents, and officials discussed various measures, including increasing security patrols, enhancing intelligence collection, and improving coordination between security agencies.

“We must work together to protect our people and our city,” General Salb Ahmed said. “This meeting is the first step towards a stronger and safer Mogadishu.” Officials also agreed to implement an accountability system, whereby individuals responsible for maintaining the city's security will bear responsibility for any lapses. This step is expected to motivate security personnel to perform their duties more seriously and effectively.

Governor Yusuf Hussein Jumaale stressed the importance of community participation in maintaining peace and security, and called on Mogadishu residents to cooperate with the security forces and report any suspicious activities.

“We cannot achieve lasting peace and security without the support of our citizens,” he said. “Together, we can build a safer and more prosperous Mogadishu.” The meeting concluded with all attendees pledging to work towards making Mogadishu safer and ensuring that the city remains a safe place for its residents and visitors.
