REFLEXIVE PEACE PRACTICE (RPP) PROJECT

Somalia's security situation remains critical, with a political crisis in South West State turning increasingly militarized. The Federal Government requested AU intervention, but AUSSOM was instructed to remain politically neutral and avoid being drawn into political fighting. Clashes erupted in Galkayo between Puntland and Federal Forces. Meanwhile, humanitarian needs worsen, with WFP warning of a hunger crisis threatening millions. International partners continue security support, with United Kingdom announcing additional resources and Türkiye conducting airstrikes against Al-Shabaab.
