It would be a shame if President Hassan Sheikh, who has previously campaigned for a Somali peace agreement and a world peace agreement, asked the Kenyan government to mediate between him and Ahmed Madobe.




There is no detailed information from Jubaland other than that they received the delegation. Ahmed Madobe wants to hold an election in which he is believed to emerge victorious, while President Hassan Sheikh wants the election to be postponed.
