the part of parliament is certainly expected to deescalate the tension that we've seen recently in somalia's capital mogadishu just a week ago different factions of the security forces were fighting each other those who support the president known widely by his nickname farmer joe were fighting with other factions that support the opposition now the opposition had objected to parliament voting to extend his term by 2 years they said that was illegal and followed the failure to hold those elections that were meant to happen in february now there are still some fairly major hurdles in in the weeks ahead from september last year up until february the central government and the governments of the 570 semi autonomous states couldn't agree on the terms for this election to go ahead that's why it didn't happen that agreement still needs to be reached now if it is to happen and it's also important to understand that the election that's planned

isn't one in which everyone gets to vote rather community leaders will get to choose members of parliament or members of parliament will get to elect the president and there's a lot of mistrust from the opposition in farmer joe's government and they. self wants to stay in power lot of the opposition think that he won't agree to the terms of any election that doesn't favor him so there are certainly some major challenges still to be resolved in the weeks ahead if indeed that tension is to be deescalated in the fears of violence that we saw last week was a lot of people thought could if you didn't go well end up with the country returning to a state of civil war. fire me as an associate professor of security studies at cass university and also understanding ysabel yet conflagration he says you can only move forward with an inclusive election. so there has to be an election but that election has to be also inclusive and there must be an agreeable balance that the

bad so i think the good thing about this perhaps for the president and for the house of the people is that they're trying to correct maybe their mistakes and leave a better legacy even if they don't come back for the election and that's good for everyone i mean inclusive credible. free election is the only way out and it's a good thing for every party in the process. rallies have been taking place across the world to mark may day or international labor day in colombia the march has coincided with protests against government tax reform plans and is continuing even though president even duke a has backed down and ordered the proposal to be rewritten police fired tear gas to disperse crowds in the capital bogota have been 4 days of protests by people who say the changes could make them poorer. as under i was out one of the process in
