Turning Mogadishu into a battlefield just to suppress political protests? The Somali regimeโs reliance on military force against opponents shows a total failure of leadership.
Peaceful dialogue shouldn't require a bloodbath first. #Somalia#Mogadishu

They call it an "election," but the streets know it's a fraud.
Forcing handpicked puppets in Galmudug, Hirshabelle, and South West is a political circus.
True democracy is born in these streets, not through rigged appointments!

#Government forces have taken control of the residence of Hassan Ali Khaire, which had been the main focal point of the #heaviest fighting since last night.
Former president Hassan Sheikh must cease his violent actions against opposition leaders and the public. His legal term is up. We need to proceed to elections based on consensus immediately. I urge the Somali people to remain strong & security forces to protect our citizens. 1/3
Security Alert: The federal governmentโs obsession with domestic political rivals is the greatest gift to Al-Shabaab and ISIS.
As elite anti-terror forces are kept in Mogadishu to police dissent, rural Somalia is systematically left open to terror expansion.
"A #protest backed by weapons is social chaos. Do not do such things. Say that you do not want #war.
This #city used to be torn apart by explosions and people used to kill one another.
You must reject that kind of strife and #unrest.
