Somali leader Farmaajo recruits Al-Shabab members to disrupt the elections

Time and again Somalia is witnessing a delay in the democratic process of elections giving rise to the concerns of international communities and organizations. The constant attempts at delaying the process have come due to the hindrance created by outgoing president Farmaajo. The European Union is concerned that if this continues, it may become impossible to restore democracy or make Somali follow a democratic path in the coming days.

The extent of Farmaajo’s authoritarian approach is evident from the fact that he has started recruiting members of the dreaded terrorist organistaion Al-Shabab so that he could further disrupt the election process.

According to European officials who are engaged in the African country’s affairs, the Somali leader has recruited 1,500 fighters who have been trained in Eritrea and here on they will be involved in the process of not letting elections happen. Not just this, even if the elections are announced, it is their job to disrupt it even if it requires violence.

The European Union also stressed that it is time that all the concerned parties in Somalia should come together and ensure that the elections take place. They want to unify them against the top leaders of Somalia who are hell bent on delaying or canceling the elections just to keep Farmaajo in the power
