The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has blamed local politicians and members of his government for the current insecurity gripping the country.
Mohamud said local politicians, including MPs are obstructive to the security measures that have been put in place as some have released seized Al-Shabaab suspects from prisons.
"Al Shabaab fighters have no clan background and borders, they are global fanatics, so we should deal with the insecurity and the militants,” the president said.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud also called on government officials to stop releasing Al-Shabaab prisoners from jails and help security forces maintain law and order.
The Somali Federal Government has been accused of failing to protect its citizens and tackle the insecurity and lawlessness in the country due to the growing insecurity caused by Al-Shabaab attacks.
