Updated Somalia’s president to address nation as support crumbles
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) Somalia’s president will address the nation on Tuesday evening after two key regional states objected to his extended stay in office and the prime minister asked the country to prepare for elections whose delay had sparked gunfire between rival groups of soldiers in the Mogadishu streets.
