Somalia inaugurates 290 lawmakers
Somalia has inaugurated 290 new lawmakers, bringing the country a step closer to completing a prolonged electoral process marred by alleged corruption and irregularities.
The ceremony was held in the capital’s heavily fortified Halane military camp, protected by sandbagged fences and high concrete walls, where Somali police and African Union troops were deployed to the surrounding areas, putting Mogadishu under lockdown.
The lawmakers will later elect speakers and deputies for both parliamentary chambers before they sit to choose a new president.
