In Kismayo, the Jubaland State Ministry of Security is tightening up on safety measures with the elections on the horizon. Their main jam? Keeping things safe and orderly. Public safety and integrity of the elections are non-negotiables.
All sorts of security forces, from the Darawish squad to the local brainiacs in intelligence, have been put on high alert. Their mission: be ready at the drop of a hat and keep the peace across the region.
A key rule under these new moves is a flat-out ban on security personnel getting their hands dirty in any sort of political shenanigans. They have one job: protection detail. The boots on the ground are expected to stay put in their camps and operation zones, and there’s no stepping out of line unless it’s official business.
Political bigwigs and wannabe leaders better be on the same page with the Jubaland Police Force about their security. Everything’s got to be above board, ensuring everyone plays nice and the election game doesn’t spiral out of control.
The voice of authority, Deputy Minister of Security Adan Ahmed Haji, is laying it down plainly: no playing around with clan-based armed gangs. They’re like matches at a gas station, potentially setting off chaos and threatening peace when it matters most. Adan’s core message? Get your security framework reliable, or risk derailing the electoral express.
On top of all this, the eyes of local and international watchdogs will be glued to the proceedings, keeping everyone honest and transparent.
