Muqdisho | February 1, 2017 – Incumbent Somali Prime Minister and Presidential hopeful Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke held a press conference today in Mogadishu to voice his concerns about interference in Somalia’s presidential elections.
During his speech, he said that Somalia’s elections are rife with international meddling, specifically from its neighbours. He said they were directly involved in the selection, financing and controlling of a particular candidate.
Although he did not single out a single candidate by name, many believe his comments were directed at President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud; insinuating that he is enjoying the support from neighbouring Ethiopia.
A recent analysis published by the Ethiopia-based Centre for Dialogue, Research, and Cooperation (CDRC) on the elections directly endorsed Hassan Sheikh Mohamud for the presidency. The report was widely dismissed by Somali pundits and analysts as Ethiopia’s not-so-veiled attempt influencing the elections.
