FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Somalia’s National Constituent Assembly (NCA), selected by traditional elders, began talks on draft constitution on Wednesday after 21 years of political and civil strife.
Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed called the meeting “a historic moment” for the war-torn country.
“I would like to congratulate all Somalis on this success at this crucial time. We are here today to approve the constitution, which means the foundation of our country’s governance is being laid down,” he said.
Somalia’s Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohammad Ali said the new constitution is the future of Somali community, urging the Somalis to support the draft.
“This constitution is translating the future of Somali community, it is the main important tip of the road map and how to end the interim government,” he said.
Al- Shabab group also warned against adopting the draft, saying it will target the assembly.

The weak Western-backed transitional government in Mogadishu has been battling al-Shabab for the past five years and is propped up by a strong AU force from Uganda, Burundi, and Djibouti.
