Somalia s President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed called early Wednesday for elections and a return to dialogue after the extension of his mandate by two years sparked the country s worst political violence in years.
The president, best known by his nickname Farmaajo, addressed the nation at around 1am local time after hours of anticipation, with Mogadishu on a knife s edge as government troops and pro-opposition soldiers beefed up their positions and civilians fled their homes.
The rival sides exchanged gunfire on Sunday in an eruption of long-simmering tensions sparked by the delay of February elections and Farmaajo s extension of his mandate earlier this month.
