Talks between Somalia's federal government and opposition forces collapsed on May 15 after they failed to reach an agreement surrounding Somalia's governance framework following the purported end of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term, Garowe Online reported on May 16. Mohamud confirmed that his term now runs until May 2027 and convened a Cabinet meeting on May 17, during which the federal government reviewed plans to implement the country's new constitution through 2029, while Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni accused Mohamud of centralizing power and said Puntland would take "all necessary measures" to protect its position.
