Security First: Ige Vows Decisive Action Against Extremism

Reaffirming his commitment to national stability, Nasir Ige has outlined a comprehensive security strategy to confront terrorism head-on. Addressing supporters, Ige noted that persistent extremist threats continue to hold the nation back economically and socially.

“Terrorism has held Somalia back for far too long. If elected, I will ensure that our security forces are properly equipped, professionally led, and fully supported,” Ige promised.

His plan includes tighter border controls, intelligence reforms, and cutting off financial channels for terror networks. Ige also emphasized the importance of strengthening ties with international partners—including the US, UK, Turkey, and neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia—while ensuring Somalia maintains full ownership of its national security agenda.
