Episode Details

Somalia’s capital erupted in gunfire as President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s term expired but was unilaterally extended, sparking outrage from opposition groups who declared it unconstitutional. Protests turned violent overnight, with government forces clashing against militias, while talks to resolve the crisis have stalled. Amid a decades-long struggle to establish democracy — the last free election was in 1969 — former leaders condemned the violence, blaming the president and vowing to continue protests. The U.S. embassy condemned the chaos, calling for calm, as casualties remain unconfirmed and the president has yet to speak.
