Former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has announced that outgoing President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo wanted the opposition to rise up and start a war to destabilize the country.
Hassan said opposition leaders have failed to fight any pressure on the outgoing president, who is accused of obstructing an agreement on the country's elections.
"The government of former President Farmajo has tried many times to put us in a place where we are angry and shout," said the former president in an interview with KNN.
"Put him out of the stadium, deduct the salaries of my staff, deduct some of my former president's allowances. All this is for the angry ones to fight."
The former president also said that since 2018 he and other leaders have been harassed by government officials, but have not given the required response which he considers violent.
However, the crisis in the country is believed to have worsened if opposition leaders declared war on the outgoing government, following recent incidents in which it was directly targeted.
