We shall remain an opposition party to the Somali government says Wadajir chairperson

Wadajir political party chairperson Kamal Gutale stressed that his party will remain an opposition one that will disclose the mistakes carried out by the incumbent administration.

Speaking to Gobjoog News, Gutale emphasized on their determination to oppose the government. “We are an opposition party and remain to be one by putting into the light the blunders of the government” said Gutale.

He was responding to the attack on Abdirhman Abdishakur who once vied for presidential election on the party ticket during the February elections held in Mogadishu.

Gutale condemned the manner in which the arrest occurred terming it to be an illegal move orchestrated on the orders from the highest offices in the country.

“He was arrested in an illegal manner on the [alleged] orders from the presidential and PM offices. We really condemn the attack. We see as a government which does not permit diverse ideologies yet they portray to be yearning for democracy. We passed the reign of dictatorship and settling maters through the barrel of a gun by attacking our party office and leaders” he said

Describing how the event culminated with the arrest of Abdishakur who got injured on one of his hands according to Gutale. “We received casualties where our party security staff were killed. Abdishakur was injured on the hand. He was handcuffed and blindfolded and they ransacked his house without a warrant.”

“They never produced a document to show his arrest order” concluded Gutale.

Federal security department nor the government has yet to produce official statement on the matter.
