NAIROBI (HORN OBSERVER) - The rift between Somalia's leadership has been resolved barely four days after Prime Minister, Mohamed Hussein Roble and boss Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo disagreed over a presidential ban on agreements with foreign entities during the election period.

Addressing dozens of Somali nationals in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, Roble confirmed that he is in good terms with president Farmaajo, saying both agreed to resolve their difference for the sake of the nation.

"There is no disagreement. You have seen my statements and the president’s as well. I have not attacked or disagreed with anyone. Without a leadership agreement, the country will fall apart, so the president and I are in agreement. We have a duty to bring the country to a peaceful election,” he told the community.

Last Sunday, Roble defied a directive by president Farmaajo ordering not agreements with foreign entities during the election period.

"No commercial agreements can be entered with foreign parties in the course of the election season,” the decree states. "The president urges all state institutions to respect the dignity, sovereignty and the progress achieved in recent years.”

Roble instructed all institutions to continue serving the nation as per the provisional constitution and the laws of the state.

"The Provisional Constitution grants the Council of Ministers full authority until the ongoing election generate a new government. The executive power of the Federal Republic is vested in the Council of Ministers according with Article 97, Clause 1 of the Provisional Constitution,” the PM said in a statement.
