Somali parliament due to fire PM Abdiweli

The much-awaited parliamentary debate on a motion to withdraw the confidence from PM Abdiweli is scheduled to take place today.

The motion was read before days and some of over 80 MPs who registered to support or oppose the motion addressed the parliament on Thursday.

Today the security of the parliament building was tightened as most of the roads in the capital especially the ones entering the building closed.

The prime minister will be forced to resign if more than 50 percent of the lawmakers vote against him.
