FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
But in a sign of continuing challenges, two suicide bombers believed to be
from Somalia’s al-Qaeda affiliate, al-Shabaab, came close to a spectacular
attack on the gathering.
Security officers stopped the two men as they tried to enter the building as
talks were concluding. One died as he detonated his explosives, injuring
four police officers. The other man was shot dead.
The thwarted attack failed to stall the final stages of the proceedings of the
constituent assembly, a gathering of 645 men and women appointed as leaders
of their communities.
However it will be years until national popular elections can be held, and
analysts warned that the country would still be ruled be a “selected
rather than elected” parliament.
“It’s a major milestone in terms of the deadline of August 20,” said
Abdirashid Hashi, Somalia analyst with the Crisis Group’s bureau in Nairobi.
“But in terms of a true, good and democratic government for Somalia, it’s
very far from that. Essentially, it’s handing over from one interim
authority to another, from one transition to another.”
