Kismayo (HOL) — The Jubaland administration has initiated a mediation process to resolve a violent clan conflict in Luuq District, Gedo region.
Jubaland’s First Vice President, Mahamud Sayid Adan, announced that the regional government had convened a peace forum in Dolow, bringing together elders and community leaders from the three warring clans to negotiate a lasting settlement.
“The Jubaland administration is committed to facilitating these talks and will cover all related expenses,” Adan said at a press conference. “Any group that disregards the outcome of this peace process will be held accountable.”The conflict in Luuq, which has fuelled tensions and displaced families, prompted authorities to intervene to prevent further violence. Adan urged residents to support reconciliation efforts and move away from clan-based rivalries that have long hindered regional stability.
Jubaland has played a key role in mediating local conflicts in Gedo, a region frequently affected by inter-clan disputes and political tensions. The administration hopes the latest talks will produce a sustainable agreement that prevents future hostilities.
