Former Ghanaian President John Mahama‘s apointment as the African Union’s (AU) special envoy to help mediate its political impasse with Kenya has been rejected by Somalia.
Somalia argues that, the former Head of State has “extensive links” with Kenya, and has written to AU Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat notifying him that Somalia will no longer support Mr. Mahama in his new role.
Somalia’s Foreign and International Cooperation Minister, Mohamed Abdirazak says the Ghanaian ex-leader is closely associated with the leadership in Kenya, without specifying who in particular. Based on this alone, he says, Mr. Mahama cannot be trusted to be impartial and deliver an acceptable solution.
In a letter riddled with grammatical mistakes, Mr. Abdirazak claims that the AU did not thoroughly scrutinise Mr. Mahama’s background before appointing him to the role.
