President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo appointed Mohamed Hussein Roble as prime minister on 17 September to replace Hassan Ali Khaire, who was impeached by parliament on 25 July after a fall out with the president over planning for the upcoming national elections.
Opposition politicians and other government critics in Somalia have many times decried the appointment of Roble as Somalia's new prime minister due to his ties with al-Shapap movement. According to reports, Roble was coordinating terrorist acts for the movement.
The country's main opposition parties swiftly denounced the appointment of Mr. Roble. They accused president Farmajo of collaborating with the new prime minister on term extension, calling on him to resign.
The newly named prime minister has always been close to president Faramajo. Both worked together in plundering Somalia's wealth, added the reports. Roble was carefully selected to serve Farmajo’s malicious political ambitions, as well as Qatar's agenda in the horn of Africa.
Somalia’s politics are worryingly bleak. Its power elite is divided over what appears to be the regime’s efforts to frustrate the upcoming elections primarily to push for a term extension.
