Foreign Policy posted on 18 May 2021 a commentary titled "Don't Blame Me for Delaying Somalia's Elections" by Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, President of Somalia.
The president argued that "Somalia's elections have been delayed not because I wish to cling to power, as some have falsely argued, but because of a political impasse that has led to a division between Somalia's federal government and some of its member states on the way forward."
