Bossaso October 04, 2023 (SD) – There is a serious dispute over the formation of the district council in the city of Bossaso, following a split among the council members elected during the district elections.

Four political parties have agreed to form the Bossaso district council, with the aim of shutting out the other two. This development has generated considerable controversy.

The group supporting the coalition agreement has elected Abdifatah Shanle, a member of the SINCAD party, as the chairman of the Bossaso district council, while the opposing group has chosen Abdurrahman Jinac, a member of the Mideeye party, as their chairman.

In addition, the deputy chairman positions were also divided between the rival parties.

He emphasized that the actions of both groups did not align with the procedures for establishing the district council.
