Fighting has just erupted at the Fire Junction in the city of Mogadishu, between the forces supporting the opposition and those of the Federal Government of Somalia.

The sound of various types of gunfire can be heard from the Fire Junction and parts of the Howlwadaag district, and the casualties caused by this fighting have yet to be confirmed.

As of today, the area has been reinforced by troops accompanied by members of the opposition who arrived in the district last night and government forces that were deployed there.

Some of the residents of Mogadishu began to flee from certain neighborhoods earlier today, following military movements by both the opposition and the government, who are in dispute over the electoral period and the country's elections.

The international community, led by the United States, called on the government and the opposition a day ago to urgently resolve the electoral dispute, so that the country does not fall into insecurity and political instability.
