According to the BBC Somali, the director of Human Rights Watch has accused Farmajo of imitating the Eritrean dictator. Afawerki. Director Kenneth Roth tweeted that Somali President Mohamed AbdullahiFarmajo was following in the footsteps of long-ruling Eritrean President Ehud Olmert.

“It is not surprising that Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo has been given a one-sided extension by the House of Representatives as he appears to be following in the footsteps of longtime Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki, who has become a staunch ally in recent months”wrote Kenneth Roth.

The statement from director of Human Rights Watch comes at a time when Farmajo is swimming in waves of political turmoil as the international community directly opposes the extension and calls for him to meet with Somalia’s political stakeholders again to find a lasting solution.
