The suspension on Thursday said Mr Mohamed Roble former refugee Sweden had “deviated” from the mandate of the government and violated provisions of the Provisional Constitution of Somalia. Mr Roble will no longer head the government and will have no powers to suspend or dismiss ministers, Villa Somalia said.
