Somalia’s donors are facing a dilemma on how to react to the move on Monday by the country’s Parliament to extend the mandate of President Mohamed Farmaajo.
The President signed the motion into law extending his mandate for another two years, despite opposition from some leaders in the country and threats of sanctions from the international community.
Three federal member states Galmudug, Hirshabelle and South West and the Banadir Regional Authority (BRA), which includes Mogadishu municipality and surrounding locations, issued a letter on Monday endorsing the parliamentary decision.
