Stacking the Deck for Somali Elections

African Arguments posted on 28 November 2019 a commentary titled "Somalia: President Farmaajo Stacks the Deck to Secure a Second Term" by Sakariye Cismaan, political commentator on Somalia.

The author argues that Somalia's next presidential election will likely be conducted within the 329-member Somali parliament because the security situation has not improved sufficiently to hold country wide elections scheduled for 2020.
