Hussen Sheikh Ali, the Somali president’s national security advisor, refuted claims that he had met with TPLF officials in Djibouti
On Friday, the false allegations began to circulate on social media.
“Please wary of misleading stories circulating on the internet: since being designated National Security Advisor to the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, I have not traveled outside of Mogadishu.”
Ali formerly worked as President Mohamud’s security advisor and as the Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency’s External Security Director (NISA).
