Hundreds of military personnel in uniform secured key positions in northern Mogadishu as they exchanged fire with the opposition leaders, many of whom were aggravated about President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed’s extended stay in power in Somalia’s capital on Sunday. No casualties were reported. Sunday’s incident further destabilised the law and order in the country located on the Horn of Africa, as election feuds spiralled into violence and shots of live bullets were fired. According to the local African press, Somalia’s elections meant for early February had been stalled due to the diplomatic conflict between the federal government, the states of Puntland and Jubbaland and the opposition parties.
