Heavy gunfire and explosions shook several parts of Somalia's capital on Thursday as security forces battled opposition-aligned fighters ahead of planned demonstrations against the extension of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term.

The clashes were concentrated around areas linked to former President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire, both prominent figures within the opposition. Residents reported hours of gunfire, mortar blasts, and rocket-propelled gr***de attacks as fighting spread through parts of the city.

Hundreds of people fled their homes while major roads and businesses were forced to close as the security situation deteriorated.

The unrest follows a controversial decision by parliament to extend Mohamud's mandate by one year after his term expired in May. Opposition leaders argue the move was pushed through without broad agreement and have called for fresh negotiations and a clear electoral roadmap.

The latest violence adds to growing political tensions in Somalia, where disagreements between the federal government and regional administrations continue to complicate efforts to maintain stability while the country faces ongoing security and humanitarian challenges.

No immediate casualty figures were available.

Absalom Odhiambo Onyango, widely known as Matakwey or Mobimba and the MCA for Korogocho Ward in the Nairobi County Assembly, drew attention during an assembly session after a fiery emotional address linked to a high-profile corruption probe.

In a video that has since gone viral, he is seen speaking passionately, gesturing and raising his fist as he reacted to the arrest of Nairobi County Chief Officer for Urban Development and Planning, Patrick Analo Akivaga. At one point, he expresses anger over graft in the county, saying, “They’ve stolen everything,” reflecting frustration over ongoing corruption allegations.

The arrest followed an EACC raid at Analo’s home in Syokimau, Machakos County, and his vehicle. Investigators reportedly recovered KSh 65.3 million in cash, along with title deeds, vehicle logbooks, phones, laptops, and other official documents linked to county operations.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission says Analo is under investigation for bribery, abuse of office, conflict of interest, and unexplained wealth. He is also suspected of receiving over KSh 170 million through cash and mobile money transactions between 2020 and 2026, amounts believed to be far above his official earnings.
