The Somali federal government sent a letter to the UN Security Council on April 9th warning against interfering in the country's disputed elections.
"The Federal Government of Somalia views any foreign intervention as a direct interference in the internal affairs of the country and a violation of Security Council resolutions, agreements and international law."
It was on Wednesday that the federal government announced the failure of the preliminary meeting of the federal and state governments, blaming Puntland and Jubaland.
Reports say last week there was a meeting between the international community and the federal government that was marred by a misunderstanding, which is believed to have angered the government.
At the meeting, members of the government asked the international community about their role, while representatives of the international community replied that they were not only responsible for the security of the constitutional institutions but also that they were responsible for ensuring that what was built was not destroyed. harmful.
It appears that the international community is tired of Somalia's elections and has strained relations with Villa Somalia, leading to the federal government going to the Security Council.
The letter to the Security Council stated that security for the elections would be handed over to the government, a unilateral move without consulting the regional administrations on how to manage the security of the elections.
It is not known why the federal government wants the international community to withdraw from Somalia's elections, with election funding, security and 40% of the government's budget allocated.
