Faiza Jeyte, a Somali federal legislator, has called for nationwide protests against the government.
Jeyte urged citizens to express their frustration over the government’s perceived failures.
Particularly, she mentioned the government’s failure in protecting the population from Al-Shabaab attacks.
In her Thursday statement, she drew parallels to recent protests in Kenya, highlighting what she described as the government’s divisive tactics.
Her remarks reflect growing discontent among some segments of the Somali population regarding the government’s handling of security issues and its broader governance.
