Somali Leaders Head for Another Round of Election Talks

All eyes seem to be fixed on the "big tent," a structure inside the perimeter of Mogadishu's Aden Abdulle International Airport, the city's most guarded zone where leaders are expected to meet and find a way forward on the delayed elections. Somalia was to have an election to choose legislators for both its upper and lower houses of its parliament in November and December 2020, but the process was delayed due to squabbles between some of the leaders of the Federal Government of Somalia and some presidents of the Federal Member States. The negotiations collapsed on March 5, 2021, after the opposition requested to be included in future election talks. President Mohamed Farmajo was blamed for the talks collapse and was accused of buying time and having nothing concrete to offer.
