Somalia constitutional crisis on the horizon

[Maxamed Mubarak]

He’s trying to win the cursed nation’s game of thrones. I like his ambition, but he’s not the strong leader we need. If someone who isn’t a puppet sellout did this I wouldn’t protest.

he hasn’t even payed off some xildhibans since the end of the election. And this guy is being unreasonable too, he wants stuff passed without any pushback even though the stuff he’s pushing is ridiculous.

he wants to change the constitution to allow a 5 year term. It sets a bad precedent, the previous man stayed past his time and got hounded for good reason. You can’t change the foundation of a country (the constitution)
