Tension has gripped Mogadishu once again after a long day of drama and uncertainty.
On the night of December 27, a group of soldiers arrived at the nation’s capital ostensibly to remove President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo from power.
The arrival of the soldiers – few as they are – is likely to worsen the situation further.
At the very least, it shows that the country’s military is already divided between President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo and Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble.
