The session of the Federal Parliament of Somalia convened today ended without outcome after disorder and heated exchanges disrupted proceedings at the House of the People headquarters in Villa Hargeisa, Mogadishu.

Speaker of the House, Aden Madobe, said he was prepared to engage in dialogue with lawmakers who opposed the session’s agenda, stressing his willingness to resolve the dispute through consultation and goodwill.

Speaking after the adjournment, the Speaker said the parliamentary leadership had accepted the concerns raised by members and agreed to postpone the sitting in order to allow space for dialogue.

The session was suspended after several MPs called on the leadership to address the disagreements and tensions surrounding the House through peaceful discussions outside the chamber. As a result, no decisions were taken on the constitutional agenda, and debates on proposed amendments to the Provisional Constitution were halted.

The Speaker also announced the formation of a joint committee tasked with reviewing the circumstances that led to the disruption and assessing the conduct of the session. Parliament was subsequently adjourned amid continuing political tensions that have intensified in recent days.

Lawmakers from Puntland and Jubbaland reiterated their opposition to extending parliamentary sittings, arguing that constitutional matters must be addressed through lawful, inclusive, and constitutionally sound procedures.

Today’s failed session follows a series of disrupted parliamentary meetings, with none of the planned agenda items discussed, highlighting deepening political instability within Somalia’s federal legislature.
