The International Crisis Group (ICG) published on 10 November 2020 a report titled “Staving Off Violence around Somalia’s Elections.”

Somalia is in the throes of hurried preparations for parliamentary and presidential elections, which are slated for December 2020 and February 2021, respectively.  Though the parties agreed to proceed with indirect voting, they are struggling to prepare the polls. ICG warns that pushing forward with elections without adequate preparation could be risky.  0 commentsLabels: al-ShabaabAMISOMcivil societyclanselectionsHassan Ali KhairejihadiJubalandMohamed Abdullahi FarmajoPuntlandsecuritySomalia
