Candidates' Union issues stern warning against protests

 Union candidates once again to hold peaceful protest against the behavior looga president for policy 

A spokesman for the Union of Presidential Candidates, Dahir Mohamud Guelleh, reiterated that they would hold a demonstration on Friday and warned the government not to set up roadblocks.

Dahir Gelle said the outgoing President Farmajo was trying to set up roadblocks and prevent protests, and made it clear that the protests would not be stopped by roadblocks and intimidation.

We, the Somalis, have been forced to do so before, and we cannot accept it. The point is that recently, when we were holding a peaceful demonstration, we were set up at checkpoints. Roadblocks and terrorism are not obeyed, so we decided.

Next Friday we want to hold a peaceful demonstration. We want to stop the checkpoints. We know that checkpoints and terrorism are not obeyed. It is rejected. It is difficult, but if you ignore it, what will happen to you will be worse. We do not want Somalis to oppress the people by teaching them what is illegal and not legal, ”said candidate Dahir Mohamud Guelleh.

The statement from the Union of Candidates comes at a time when the Somali government has announced that no demonstrations will be held, and there are fears of renewed violence in Mogadishu on Friday.
