political dispute. on the streets of the somali capital. delayed elections so. politicians find a common ground over this crisis to rael the recent progress to world stability this is inside slowly. hello welcome to the program ha. somalia has been working to us to build it to since its 1st democratically elected government in decades came to paula in 2012

but a dispute about this month's delayed election is fueling divisions and worsening grievances the presidential vote was missed after the government failed to agree with the regional leaders on how the ball should be held now there is confusion as to whether the president should remain in office after his term expires the standoff on the streets of mogadishu on friday we're bringing in a moment but 1st this report from katherine sawyer. was. barely heard a protest march started in the other airports when this happened. an intense firefight between government forces and proposition fight as the demonstration had been called by opposition presidential candidates and was being led by some of them they included somalia's former prime minister of hiding and opposition leader abdel rahman additional. delays in holding

a presidential election and the continued state of muhammad up to life on my job and the top post after he stomach's by age 2 weeks ago they'll position blames government forces for provoking the fight on. today security forces opened fire against peace rally in mogadishu this happened as the event was being widely watched in the media and the world as a result of this some have died and others were wounded but prime minister mohammad says opposition fighters fired the 1st shots every citizen has the right to demonstrate peacefully and for the security services to be the ones to guard the demonstrators and ensure their safety but we will not accept demonstrations guarded by forces outside the state apparatus this is unacceptable the constitution does not accept and we won't accept any shape or form. several people were injured in buildings around the airport destroyed by rocket propelled grenade launched by an

identified man. 3 other presidential candidates were also caught up in an exchange of gunfire between security forces and a known gunman at a hotel in the city on friday q the president of ordering the attack saying it was an attempt to assassinate them mogadishu is now calm but tense many people say they want an end to the security and sat in but they also know the longer their political leaders feel to agree on how an election will be run and who will be in charge of the country in the meantime there was this situation can get catherine so i al-jazeera. let's take a closer look at somalia's long struggle to restore stability it hasn't had a stable central government says line 991 when the regional leaders overthrew the battery led to decades of civil war in 2007 fighters advanced into southern and central somalia and controlled last ways of the country they were pushed back by

its european and african forces in the years that followed by 2012 somalia's 1st war parliament in more than 2 decades was sworn in by the government struggle to assert control beyond what god is sure now the nation is facing the continuing attacks by a covert 19 and a locust infection that's created for shortages. let's bring in our guests in mogadishu a sane shake founder and chairman of the think tank here is that you that in birmingham the. political analyst and doctoral student of the university of birmingham in minneapolis minnesota mohammad ali has sent founder and president of the so molly american peace council war welcome to you all her saying why haven't elections been held on time as per the per the law.

well you said is the question that everybody is asking why. it's not the 1st time actually that. election is delayed from its. date but this time what is. happening is this. is coming at a time that there is no agreement on a mobile be. and it will be to kill agreement where all actors are happy with that kind of model that people have. a shot. on this elections so 2012 it was delayed almost a year 201678 it was delayed and at 5 months

but that was what was tabled and this because this time it's more contentious and the current president not be forthcoming and leaving the big stick almost a confidence that the when ted from the cabinet and it's ok mohamed who should we blame for this but to delay the political it establishment represented by a president for muscle or is it the situation is very difficult with covert 19 of effort it's about time to give the country a chance to get its act together before moving to the ballots. well i blame president for my job because the previous guys a lot extended 6 months or one year they were going through a process if you cannot make an agreement with the regional governments which are very difficult and you have to could make some concessions like indyk in the case of good old. generosity coming under

a jubilant and i tell you the other problem is somalia one thing they were good about it was decided the military she was always having it be fully conciliation this time president for margin is a mistake should be dropped the ball so i blame squarely the problem although there was also some problems to go around most of the problem goes because the work should stop when the president can do what it is it about the modality of the vote which is not any way a perfect thing for a country like somalia because it's a process where come people. agree on a superdelegate and that delegate is going to choose the parliament the parliament in its own turn would choose the president is this the particular problem that is facing the nation as we speak now i think before i go into that my fellow countryman necessary is to simply simplistic to point a finger to one person and.

instead of discussing. the situation of somalia someone is take hold is. once the outcome to a hole in it this includes the regional governments that includes the gulf states and money is take hold the. money is in a situation where the government. is not able to excuse what the lows of the country what has been agreed upon. that was. of the foundation of all the more than. there was. in october 2020 which. was an annex to agreement or 17 september which was the model which for the member states federal government have agreed upon. the timeline and the mortality off of the election

and that low low number 20 allows the government letter institutions including further member states the government and the prime minister having the president to be in to be in power while they were both replaced i think and pointing the finger to any particular is too simplistic the other thing i want i want to add into the. simplistic things. and the opposition. i put it this into presidential aspirants who called themselves presidential. candidates the presidential candidates of somalia is more than 100 because there was a professional or official. political party all of the candidates or more than 10101 in. this presidential candidates which

includes 2 former presidents are. part of that i am what they put their courage on to further member states rather than putting their cart into a political party where there was and party lost but this is this is this has all mission always has always been there the nature of political landscape in somalia let me just go to and i'll get back to before the time being let me go to her saying she highly percent was it smart or for the opposition to decide that after february the 8th normal recognition of the of the digital mysie of president for measure. well i'm not i'm a legal expert but clearly. for my dual use in very. difficult and. unknown territory where

we haven't been before because the area extensions that we were talking about. where some sort of an agreement with the rest of the stick with us this time. a favorite past why the big cut and president have no agreement to me that is they called us to accept that he will be in charge in the country until the election happens so that's why the equipment of the opposition figures and even some of the region are. doing the brazilian team in the bill or somebody illegally and and then that is not clearly explaining himself. even the difficulties he kind of go around. there every time that the public want to hear from him his excuses he

goes about blaming everybody else but themselves including 14 states and this is the most ridiculous you know even in such a particular situation normally any other decent country would have the highest because situational authorities coming forward and saying basically this is the situation the way it is and this is our own interpretation of the constitution and therefore this is the way it should be moving forward mohamed this looks like a politically motivated move by all the parties just to gain more political advantage to the point where jubilant. leaders for example are saying the reason why they're concerned about the modalities of the vote they think that is trying to manipulate the votes of the own area from mogadishu. absolutely right now let me respond to my plan. briefly please if you don't mind yes it is not basically simplistic my answer i just answered the question i was without you

really can't some to recall the backstop to the president this kind of president quayle charlie big time the other 3 you got me siding with the minor pleated you blow it blows to use the tool you doing gerrymandering and the other that just will not go or other to be present before and before him eventually compromised and you want some election so the blame have to go to the president ok i'm not making some mistake about the other question that you ask if you're right we don't have a good model to college already and i think it's my choice i would hope would like a central government that's not very strong to do cater sheep and up regional autonomy this regularly doesn't work we don't need to have every region to share a president usually one president in another time and there's a lot of problems until one of course but ok should i blame squarely the guy who left united states was like you like to take. all right just listening to you it's quite obvious that somalia has its will take some time for the somalis to move

forward and forget about the case of civil war twice and regional politics up to one if this is a decides if year for somalia either you have elections more forward or the nation could descend into further chaos and are narky is that a general sentiment among the huge sections of the society that is sabella time for the somalis to set aside all those regional differences for them to build a unified country. i think. i believe the somalis and most of the summons wants. to move forward and to get out of this place and they wanted an election to happen and that is also. where they stand or. the. international community including the u.s. and e.u. . they wanted. the agreement the 17 october agreement to

go ahead they do not want to. process it and that is what the somali people want ok the federal government the federal government yes we can point the finger but we have to let them. excuse it but what if we if we blockade that and a lot of people are saying they severe that for my dear will repent and he's a more popular than any other us friend and that's why they wanted to to force him out from the office and to go and to go back to or this is to the model of 2001 this is something that would have to be ultimately decided by the by the by the saudi voters although i think we should agree that this is not a perfect. political model because the election itself is is really not reflective of what society should be doing look at the other neighboring countries

they have got a long way when it comes to representative democracy and transparency hussein big shots here in the election you have former president you have the current president for measure former president hasn't shown much more than you have said if and also you have the former prime minister who stands strong chances to elect as president . but with the long johns as well. we're not there yet to be honest because. we need to know exactly how things pan out in terms of the mortal and them without these and. because here in somalia the election where there is no one person one vote where the day gets as and many other stakeholders involved but obviously the big names that you mention. tellers because of you mentioned. the biggest chances but there's also other people will be

. part of the biz he shouldn't have been campaigning very long time so it would not . put my bet yet mohamed do you have any concerns that if the somalis miss this particular approach unity 2021 the could go back to the years of civil war. well i agree that will never happen that was a bad lesson that's why i'm blaming the kind of president you derive in some sort of concession from your site because he's the main guy there there would have been a chance plus in our lifestyle or our way of life you chase you too will come when you shut up about some crowd god given who is going to become a major world nobody's expecting to come up and everybody including myself when i touch an elite not popular the way my brother saved somewhere in memphis he actually knows in trying to do all these gerrymandering out of the 5 regions 3 of

them you manipulated people who are in the other 2 i'm glad now good learn enjoyable and refuse it because otherwise you can easily become we need a straight shooter not going to do the commission electric to be fair some people from the secretary and the government did they did the most important part is do so my loneliness well in mogadishu all these years who want to unity they tried to manipulate the little rock there to protest to just let you argue. so much or which i really admire the guy he went down in the group came up he said we were not part of this petition will be manipulated we should never do that. in the country so i really would like to cheat a little here in greenville where the president sent me from it's a trap really didn't know that you could get it going to be part and didn't know it he was that you child were the reason why you asked me about the potential for this

edition and into anarchy and civil war there we go to abdul ali is that the grievances you're talking about are the same that were replicated since the eighty's when people were frustrated with see as a barrier and they said he dismissed other clans and he favored his own clan into government was saying seeing the same pattern being replicated across the political landscape in somalia saab dewani how are you optimistic that tomorrow is going to be a better day for somalia. i believe. but today for somalia. i do for the opposite. for my jaw is pains to strain climb as i am a little bit. bernie who are the regional authorities who are going to see him so in that sense i cannot see any any. tribal forces and playing a big role in the somali politics today. and what was happening in mogadishu

also was a reflection that. the presidential aspirants who are. not mobilized the people of mogadishu all yesterday so that's not the case i have a confidence in the in that and the other things and the big the big and obvious to me the points that this election has is the case which has been mentioned in the somaliland case and the case of again the region in particular the gather. and was in power for 9 years and he has never controlled get the region particularly and got a bihari they never recognized him and he has never been president i have been listening and he repeated 3 times calling some former president. instead presidents

to choose what the reality on the ground is i am a mother who has never been the president or. one region is controlled by shabab and i'm in the region it was free for all man years and he a conference if you call it is willing to smile ok so pointing the finger to talk for far is this is not good all right so now instead of us about how to move forward because of others to cover here if you don't mind. about about some other line case ok mostly very well to. a saint do you have any concerns that this could play into the hands of a suburban they will take advantage of the situation they see the political impasse the popular disenchantment over their political leaders and they could just states a comeback like they did in the in the thousands. well i think these are the tribal city there are tribes the opposite situation here where the air we had about

20 minutes discussion and it's the 1st time we're mentioning a shot and we're not alone here in this discussion even in mogadishu where al shabaab is the biggest. tax collector the sort of team in the computer and in the entire country who are controlling most of the territory or somalia is completely out of the picture and we're just talking about . you know elections and that disputed of the britishers you know barely or anything and. if. the situation continues the week. obviously. they are the ones who can easily take a date and they kind of have you know many many seats that is in our hands to me

mohamed in less than 30 seconds do you have the same concerns that the gains made over the last 10 years could be easily lived off and we would see. regain control of the capital mogadishu if the situation remains the way it is 30 seconds please well my good friend is talking about the actually should be doing a good job what they do in mogadishu double picture should like to one of you know probably not talking about or going to be shot in the public eye which i do with you guys when i do region but as a region is being taken to the right i wish what living martin kady you know the most part which city in the world. do you have it we have it let's say pictures you've got a british ship it to much to thank you very much you can achieve city i give 30 people this is going to be about regional autonomy and this is going to be my last question to absolutely what a country a voice to the porch on it is a gatekeeper to the red sea gateway between the india. the ocean and the red sea the longest coastline in the african continent still with talking about the same

problems the country has been grappling with for decades and decades i think if there was or what opportunity. which the presidential aspirants. stick to. one man one vote which they missed and they delegated to for their remember the states i mean they missed to stick to electoral roll which was there and the electoral commission which we take part in by omission but i think that was an opportunity which was missed ok thank you i really appreciate that saying sure there are legal dollars woodman would vote you but you know abdul abdul ali got out there and $100.00 but you know what the end of the day this is going to this is my hope i just hope that the somalis were set aside those differences look at their neighbors in west africa countries that have gone through the same tragedies but at least managed to put together stitch together a vibrant democracy look at rwanda look at other countries in the west african. the
