Somalia’s Prime Minster Mohamed Hussein Roble has called for dialogue to avert further armed confrontation, just two days after clashes broke out in the capital Mogadishu.
After meeting members of the civil society, the premier urged all sides to refrain from acts of violence.
On Sunday, armed men in military uniforms occupied parts of the northern suburbs of Mogadishu, challenging the government’s security personnel. They declared support for the opposition groups against President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo.
