The root cause of Somalia's new crisis is the 2020 political dispensation. The best way out is to address this issue. The govt must commit to no-extension and no-gerrymandering principles. The opposition must give the govt the space to govern. Both must respect the rule of law.
President Kagame taking on a @FRANCE24 Anchor all the way, no sugarcoating. "How the world works in 2 minutes". It's a masterclass. Every African will be proud to be an African after watching this clip #FactsOnly#Leadership
