Somalia’s opposition has written to Turkey urging it not to send a planned shipment of weapons to a special police unit they fear incumbent President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed could use to “hijack” forthcoming elections.
Political tensions are high in the Horn of Africa country, stoked by opposition anger over a delay in holding elections for both chambers of parliament.
The polls were initially planned for this month but that was scrapped following disagreements over the composition of the electoral board.
On Tuesday opposition supporters marched in Mogadishu denouncing the president for the delay.
