Description

Mogadishu residents cast votes in historic municipal elections, marking a significant step towards Somalias first direct national elections in over fifty years. Despite ongoing threats from al Shabaab militants, the election is seen as a test for bigger changes, with improved security and a new law bringing back universal suffrage. However, opposition groups raise concerns about the presidents re-election and the countrys readiness for mass voting. Todays vote could pave the way for democracy across Somalia.
