Unionist Somaliland Youth Flock Mogadishu Ahead Of Polls
Somalilandsun: A number of youths from Somaliland are trooping Mogadishu ahead of the polls scheduled to begin next month, government sources told Dalsan.
The young men and women, numbering hundreds or even thousands have been arriving from Somaliland for the last two years, timing the electoral programme that has heated up this year. An estimated 150 of them have got jobs in government including offices of the Prime Minister, parliament and ministries.
An Immigration officer told Radio Dalsan that Hargeisa’s daily flights to Mogadishu have this year been carrying newcomers, interested in joining Somali politics. Some 3500 have arrived this year alone, the official said.
