Mogadishu (HOL) — Three leading Somali opposition figures have urged President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to abandon plans for a presidential term extension, warning that such a move would destabilize the country and violate the constitution. In a joint statement on Saturday, former President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire, and opposition leader Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame accused the president of delaying elections and attempting to extend regional mandates to consolidate power.
