Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has said he will not tolerate external interference and threats on sensitive internal matters.
Farmajo in a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the matters being discussed solely fall within the ambit of Somali people.
He said his administration appreciates the international community's continued support but will reject any attempts to use humanitarian assistance to blackmail the country and advance their hidden agenda.
"The Federal Government of Somalia calls upon the international partners to reconsider their position on this monumental decision made by Parliament failure to which the Government of Somalia will explore diplomatic avenues available to protect her sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence," Farmajo said.

The sound of heavy gunfire in the middle of the night woke up and terrified the entire Mogadishu population.

Somalia is under pressure to hold elections and put the country on track to economic recovery, a peaceful political transition and save it from uncertainties that would embolden al Shabaab.
Mogadishu was a subject of emergency meetings both at the African Union Peace and Security Council and the UN Security Council this past week, where it was agreed that leaders must find consensus and address crucial sticking points, with a warning against “parallel” processes that will not attract universal support.

Farmaajo, opposition lock horns over extension of stay in office

The East African
Monday February 15 2021
Summary
One hand are those who believe that the parliamentary resolution passed last September to allow the president, the Senate and the Lower House to stay in office if the country fails to hold an election was right.
On the other are those who say that extension of the term is illegal; that a mere parliamentary resolution is not enough.

Somalia is in a state of political and constitutional limbo as various stakeholders interpret the failure to hold elections differently.
One hand are those who believe that the parliamentary resolution passed last September to allow the president, the Senate and the Lower House to stay in office if the country fails to hold an election was right, while on the other are those who say that extension of the term is illegal; that a mere parliamentary resolution is not enough.

Apprehension is building over the future of Somalia, after a missed presidential election on February 8. A three-day meeting between the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), and the five Federal Member States of Somalia (FMS), to try to stave off a constitutional crisis earlier this month, did not yield tangible outcome beyond an agreement to defer talks to February 15.
Considering the fragile situation in the country, the fears are not unfounded. But focusing attention exclusively on interclan tensions, the international and regional community might be missing a point. Somalia is in peril, but the solution is not in Mogadishu.
