Mogadishu (ANN) – June 5, 2026
A document circulating on social media and attributed to the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has drawn widespread attention following reports of armed confrontations in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu. The statement expresses deep concern over violence reported on June 3, 2026, which allegedly resulted in civilian casualties, injuries, and damage to critical infrastructure.
According to the document, the Secretary-General strongly condemns all acts of violence and incitement undertaken for political purposes, emphasizing that there can be no justification for attacks against civilians under any circumstances. The statement also reminds all parties of their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law and warns that those responsible for serious violations could face investigation and prosecution under national and international legal frameworks.
The document further calls on all stakeholders in Somalia to exercise maximum restraint, protect civilians, uphold the rule of law, and resolve political differences through dialogue and peaceful means. It concludes by reaffirming the United Nations’ commitment to supporting Somalia’s pursuit of peace, stability, and democratic governance.
However, Araweelo News Network has not independently verified the authenticity of the document. While its language is consistent with previous UN statements regarding political crises and armed conflict, no official confirmation has yet been found on United Nations platforms confirming the release of this specific statement.
The circulation of the document comes amid growing international concern over Somalia’s political and security situation, with members of the international community urging restraint and renewed dialogue to prevent further escalation.
