Somalia’s president suspends prime minister amid election spat

Somalia’s President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed says he has suspended Prime Minister Hussein Roble’s powers, sparking accusations of an “indirect coup” amid a protracted feud that has seen both leaders trade allegations over the holding up of parliamentary elections.
Roble responded by saying that he was ordering all security forces to take orders directly from him, potentially deepening the ongoing dispute with the president.
