Somalia will hold its presidential elections on May 15, according to a parliamentary committee that is organizing the vote.
The election, originally scheduled to take place in February 2021, has been delayed because of a lack of funding, insecurity stemming from an Islamist insurgency, and disagreement among the nation’s leaders.
