MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Scuffles and shouting broke out Wednesday during a joint session of Somalia’s parliament after the speaker attempted to advance proposed constitutional amendments that opposition lawmakers said would extend parliament’s mandate, forcing the session’s suspension. Opposition lawmakers said the proposed amendments would allow for a two-year extension of parliament’s term, which expires in April. Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsameh, an opposition lawmaker, accused Speaker Adan Madobe of attempting to rush through the amendments without following proper procedure. Lawmakers opposed to the move tore up agenda papers, shouted slogans and blew whistles, bringing proceedings to a halt. The speaker did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and it was unclear when deliberations on the proposed amendments might resume.
