Somalia: No confidence motion against  Somali premier due to be distributed

Somalia’s federal parliament will today have an extra-ordinary meeting, the no confidence motion against Somali premier Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed will be distributed to the members.

Last week MPs from both sides met with Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and agreed to convene the parliament session in order to table the motion easily.

The security of the parliament building was tightened as all the roads entering the building closed.

Our reporter in the parliament says the members of parliament are reaching the parliament, today’s sitting is expected to open in few hours time.

The leaders of the federal parliament have severally tried to distribute the no confidence motion but the sessions failed to open after anti motion MPs started shouting and singing.
