Kenyan official warns over political infighting in Somalia








A Kenyan assistant minister warns that the current political squabbling in Somalia parliament would lead to collapse of the fragile Un-backed Somali government if not addressed urgently.

Aden Barre Duale, Kenya's assistant minister for livestock, has called on the top leadership of the Somali TFG to take control of the situation and help mediate between the feuding political opponents in the parliament.

"The TFG leaders should urgently intervene between lawmakers to stop the dispute, if they fail to do so, then the government would certainly collapse," he said

"The lawmakers should go back to the law, because arguing about the expiry of the term of the parliament would not be a good idea. It is best for them to go back to the law that they set, and follow it," he added.

Duale said Kenya, like any other Somalia’s friend, would play its role in making sure that the current transition administration would not be another failed attempt to bring peace and stability to the war-torn country.
