Currently, the interconnection will allow for the exchange of voice traffic between the six operators, enhancing the quality of service for customers and expanding the network coverage. It will also promote healthy competition among the operators, leading to better pricing and service offerings for consumers.

Former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud re-elected as president of Somalia defeating incumbent Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo after three rounds of voting.

Final result:

• Hassan Sheikh Mohamud: 214
• Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo: 110
• Void: 3

“I saw people dying in front of me,” says survivor Mohammed Isa Omar.

It allows the country to go ahead with the delegate system of voting as earlier mooted, ending weeks of uncertainty.

Somalia’s government has been unable for months to reach agreement on how to carry out the election, with the regional states of Puntland and Jubbaland objecting on certain issues and the international community warning against holding a partial election or a mandate extension.
