Somalia twin attack of terrorist Al-Shabab
Somalia’s parliamentary and presidential elections were scheduled to take place after the end of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo’s term in February, but disagreements between the government and opposition delayed the process for months.
More than 15 candidates have declared their interest in ousting Farmajo in the October 10 presidential elections that will be decided by the 329 members of parliament.
On March 24, just one day after Al Shabaab launched an assault against the Halane military base in Mogadishu, the terrorist organization in Somalia conducted two suicide bombings in the central Somali town of Beledweyne, the capital of Somalia’s Hiraan region.
The Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which disrupted the election process in 2017, last week threatened to harm anyone who takes part in the presidential and parliamentary election
