Mogadishu — Somali police forces on Tuesday stopped some of Mogadishu people from holding rallies supporting Somalia’s popular Prime Minister Mohammed Abdullahi Mohammed and against his resignation.

The police forces also arrested a number of the demonstrators including students and teachers.

Before the arrests, crowds of people have congregated the KM4 junction to show their overwhelming support to prime minister.

The demonstrators were planning to hold a rally bigger than the previous ones, according to the organizers.

The move of blocking the people from demonstrating in the capital comes as the Benadir regional administration warned against it in a bid to avert Al shabaab plotted terrorist attacks.
