Mogadishu confrontations spark police raid
A political crisis is unfolding in Somalia, as the country has once again descended into open conflict after the president remained in office despite his term ending weeks ago. Clashes between security forces and armed groups are intensifying in Mogadishu. The police announced a large-scale security operation aimed at countering armed attacks, amid warnings that tensions and confrontations in the capital could continue. Furthermore, the nation is experiencing a political deadlock related to extending the president's term and amending the constitution to hold elections, which worsens the crisis amid the rising Islamist insurgency and Al-Shabaab's control over large swathes of territory.
