 Per opposition military officers have taken to the streets of Mogadishu, alongside protesters demanding against the extension of Somalia's President Mohammed Abdul-Lahi Mohammed's four-year term. Later, opposition supporters clashed with supporters of the president on the streets of the capital. The president signed a law in mid-April extending his mandate for two years, stoking a position inside Somalia and putting him on a collision course with Western and other donors opposed to the move. And also in Somalia, former president Hassan Sheikh Mohammed said soldiers have attacked his residence and that President Mohammed Abdul-Lahi Mohammed was responsible. His accusation came as Somali soldiers exchanged gunfire on the streets of the capital Mogadishu in a sign of deepening splits in the security forces between those supporting an extension of Mohammed's presidential term and those opposing it. Analysts say the divisions could distract Somali's security forces from the fight against al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab insurgents in the Horn of African Nation.
