The president of Somalia, Sheik Sharif holds press conferment today in Mogadishu talked about the current letter he returned to parliament about the ancillary term of the parliament, in saying to the legislators to get back to their decision of mounting the term.

Sheik Sharif says, “We are in war with enemies, and it is chance for the enemy to hear the political reports describing discord between top officials of the government”. 

The president said the speaker of the parliament has no right to defy my decision letter to wards the additional term of the parliament and told that it is not the business of the speaker about the allowance or refusal.

Transitional Federal Parliament of Somali Republic (TFP) current made extension of the mandate of the Federal Parliament which was opposed by members of the Transitional Federal Government of the Somali Republic, scholars, religious men, traditional elders, and civil society organizations – inside and outside of Somalia, those stated that extensive term is not another solution on the way out of the Somali tragedy.

Any how, the speech of the president seems just that there is great divergence between the both top officials, as the government fights with Harakatu Shabab, the anti-government rebels in Mogadishu.
