Somalia's federal regions face further uncertainty after President Mohamed Farmaajo reignited a row with his predecessor Hassan Sheikh Mohamud over the future of Galmudug state.
Fresh from taking opposing sides in the Jubbaland elections which Mogadishu refuses to recognise, the two clashed last week over whether the federal government should control impending elections in Galmudug, one of the five federal states in Somalia. Others are Jubbaland, Hirshabelle, South West and Puntland.
