Row between Somalia’s two most powerful leaders grows after they name different men to head the intelligence service.
Somalia’s two most powerful leaders were locked in a deepening standoff on Wednesday after they named different men to head the politically unstable Horn of Africa nation’s intelligence service. The open row between President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble, nominally over a murder investigation, marks an escalation of months of tensions between them in a country already riven by attacks and clan rivalries. It was triggered on Monday when Roble suspended Fahad Yasin, director of the National Intelligence Service Agency (NISA), saying he failed to deliver a report on the case of one of its agents who disappeared in June.
