The government rejected allegations that it agreed to accept deported nationals from Sweden in exchange for development aid. The Prime Minister’s Office stated that all cooperation with Sweden remains transparent, follows international law, and is overseen by the Somali Cabinet. The clarification comes after reports suggested $9 million in aid was redirected to projects linked to the Prime Minister’s office. Somalia emphasized it has no conditional or secret agreements regarding the return of its citizens.
