The opposition, with the help of the Somali people, the international community and neighboring countries, has succeeded in thwarting Farmajo’s misguided attempt to retain power by extending the term two years. Opposition leaders have stepped up efforts to defeat Farmajo’s dictatorship. The people rose up and revolted. It was opposed by some sections of the military, who opposed Farmajo’s illegal extension.
Since the failure of the AfisyoniTent conference, pressure has been mounting on Farmajo to withdraw from the extension, and protests, clashes and international calls have been sparked by opposition leaders. They have devoted their time to thwarting Farmajo’s dictatorial ambitions and saving the country from collapse and political turmoil and ultimately the opposition has won.
The return and rule of law is the common Somalia’s interest. Fighting and protests against Farmajo Government will save Somalia from Farmajo’s harsh rule and the country’s collapse again. The hopes of the people and democracy have returned. Once again, hopes of holding elections in the country were dashed by Farmajo’s defeat in politics and he finally agreed to return to the September 17 agreement to hold elections in the country.
Because holding elections in the country is in the interest of all Somalis.
