Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has questioned why opposition leaders staged their protest on the same day as the South West State\u2019s one-person, one-vote elections, a statement he made during a speech on the country\u2019s general situation.<\/p>\n

The president congratulated the people of South West, saying they participated peacefully in the one-person, one-vote elections that took place this morning in the administration\u2019s areas, describing it as an important step in ensuring that power is returned to the people.<\/p>\n

He said the Federal Government is committed to implementing one-person, one-vote elections across the country, so that the Somali people can directly elect their leaders.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, President Hassan Sheikh called on the opposition to come up with effective political ideas and programs that can manage the country\u2019s situation, instead of, as he put it, \u201ctrading on the feelings of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President also said that the opposition had thwarted the government\u2019s platform for political dialogue to discuss existing disputes and electoral issues, noting that today\u2019s protest coincided with the day set aside for the dialogue.<\/p>\n

He added that the government had prevented security incidents after, according to him, the opposition had brought out heavy weapons during the protest activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtests can be held, and votes can be cast, and this is a constitutional right, but there is no need for demonstrations where monsters hide,\u201d said President Hassan Sheikh.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s speech comes at a time of political tension in Mogadishu between the Federal Government and opposition politicians, who are at odds over the electoral process and the political direction of the country.<\/p>\n
