Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre accused opposition leaders of plotting a coup after an attack on Mogadishu’s Warta Nabadda Police Station. In a video address, he said the Salvation Forum faction aimed to block one-person-one-vote elections and destabilize the capital. Barre condemned former leaders for turning to violence, praised security forces and residents for repelling the assault, and vowed accountability as Somalia continues its fight against Al-Shabaab.
