Somalia: Election Delays Raise Concerns

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published on 3 November 2016 a commentary titled "The Perpetual Transition in Somalia: Delays in Somalia's Election Process Continue to Raise Concerns" by Peter Fabricius, ISS consultant.

The author concludes that a possible third delay in Somalia's legislative elections raises concerns whether the country will ever make it out of its open-ended transition phase to become a real democracy.
