His departure comes at a highly sensitive time, as Somalia faces mounting political discord and deepening insecurity. Analysts say Macallin leaves behind a trail of failure and a troubled legacy: •Collapse of the Offensive Against Al-Shabaab: Despite initial hype, the government’s campaign against Al-Shabaab has stalled disastrously. Forces have retreated from key areas, with no meaningful progress to show. •Disintegration of the Armed Forces: The Somali National Army has suffered serious morale and leadership breakdowns, riddled with politicisation and fragmentation. •Illegal Weapons Scandals: The illegal arms shipment in Caabudwaaq and the illicit weapons vessel currently seized by Puntland expose deep-rooted corruption and mismanagement. •Failure in ATMIS-AUSOM Transition: The transition from AU troops to Somali-led security forces has faltered badly, leaving the country exposed and unprepared. Security and political experts agree: Hussein Macallin’s term in office ends in outright failure — a bad legacy at a critical time for Somalia.
