[RADIOSHABELLE] Jubaland state forces were reported to have detained a leading Somali traditional elder in the coastal city of Kismayo ...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region..., the regional capital of Lower Jubba on Wednesday. Suldan Mohammed Osman Yusuf known as [Kuyow] was arrested at the city’s cop shoppe with no charges, according to local residents, who spoke to Radio Shabelle over the phone. President Ahmed Madobe has been blamed for being behind the detention of the famous clan chief in order to replace him with another elder for picking the next politicians. The arrest of the elder comes as Jubaland is set to hold parliamentary and presidential elections next month despite accusations of irregularities committing by current leadership.
