Mogadishu (PP News Desk) — President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed yesterday delivered a televised speech on elections and endorsed the return to the September 17 electoral model as the way forward to conduct indirect elections in Somalia.

President Mohamed also deplored recent violence in Mogadishu and accused former leaders of fomenting the violence.
“It has become clear to citizens that some people have proved to be saviours while others chose to displace their compatriots” he added.
