Mandera County Governor Mohamed Khalif has issued an ultimatum to President William Ruto, demanding the immediate removal of Jubaland forces from the county. Khalif threatens to remove them himself if Ruto fails to act, citing increased insecurity, school closures ahead of national exams, and the conversion of a public school into a military camp.

• Governor Khalif stated, "If you don’t do it, we will do it ourselves."
• The governor called for the closure of the recently opened BP1 camp and the relocation of Jubaland forces out of Mandera.
• He also warned Ethiopian nationals using the Mandera border to access Jubaland to use other entry points, emphasizing, "Don’t use Mandera Town as a support base."
