Somali President: We warn against the changing international system and the return to the logic of power

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud cautions against the potential collapse of the international rules-based order, emphasizing the risks of returning to power politics and its implications for global stability.

In a recent address during the seventeenth Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud highlighted a critical juncture for the world, warning that the abandonment of international law in favor of power politics could lead humanity into chaos reminiscent of pre-global wars. He pointed out that the current environment necessitates a robust discussion among decision-makers on the impactful shifts in politics and economics, which are rapidly reshaping the global landscape.

President Mohamud praised the role of Al Jazeera as a leading news network, acknowledging its commitment to professional standards and its ability to challenge prevailing narratives in an era of declining trust in media. He stated that the network has evolved into a significant international platform, bringing together experts and policymakers to address major global transformation issues.

In addressing the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, Mohamud described the situation as 'an unprecedented level of inhumanity' in modern history. He underscored that the lack of a just and comprehensive solution, based on a two-state resolution, poses risks of further escalation and instability. The continued Palestinian plight without a genuine political outlook threatens international peace and security, reinforcing the urgency to resolve these longstanding issues.
