Beledweyne (HOL) - Governor of the Hiiraan region in Somalia, Ali Jeyte Osman, has voiced staunch opposition to the HirShabelle administration's proposal to centralize tax collection from the Hiiraan region to the Hirshabelle Ministry of Finance's treasury in Jowhar, Middle Shabelle. This development occurs against a backdrop of persistent political tensions between the two regions, both constituents of the federal state of Hirshabelle.
