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 now that 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 5 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 and 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. 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. a fire me is an associate professor of security studies at castle university and the author of understanding. gratian he says somalia can only move forward with an 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 prime minister of presidents and here by by the way the prime minister would face a number of challenges. everybody mistrust the government so he has to earn the

house to restore the confidence that was last 2nd he has to actually engage all of the parties that have issues with this election that are 5 issues by the way the actual i mean task is very difficult to the problem is that the people do not trust the people do not want to talk to each other because obviously the president or a number of the aftermath has had issues with each other and also the opposition groups and the whole school at the environment has been securitized remember that this decision. divided the school to 40 so now the military saw mali as a national army forces that are fighting in it it's of mobility and that's really 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. it's a. migration is concerned more people will try to cross the mediterranean from libya as weather conditions in perth on saturday the libyan coast guard rescued $334.00 migrants were found on 4 small boats heading towards europe another rescue ship see watch for says it witnessed the coast guard violently pulling the migrants back to libya against their will. and more than 200 migrants from 15 countries have arrived in the italian island of sicily they were picked up by the rescue ship viking rescue groups pleading for european countries to open their doors so desperate migrants. the red cross is demanding the closure of
