Heavy gunfire erupted in central Mogadishu amid planned protests against President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire accused government forces of attacking him prior to the demonstrations, which were organised in response to Mohamud’s controversial one-year term extension following its expiration.

Sudan has urged the International Court of Justice to issue emergency orders against the UAE for allegedly supporting paramilitaries involved in violence against the Masalit people in Darfur.
