Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble has ordered Ambassador Francisco Madeira to leave Somalia within 48 hours.
The Prime Minister issued the order late at night on April 6 after declaring Ambassador Madeira persona non grata.
Ambassador Madeira is the Special Representative of the African Union (AU) for Somalia.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office, Ambassador Madeira has been “engaging in acts that are incompatible” with the office that he holds.
Consequently, Prime Minister Roble asked AU Commission (AUC) to recall Madeira.
