Adan Nuur Madobe made a comeback as speaker of Parliament Wednesday night following his ouster from the same seat in 2010. A joint session of the upper and lower houses of Parliament is now slated to elect a new president in the coming weeks. Professor Mohamed Muse Matan, a lecturer at the University of Somalia, noted that once it was finally held, the election for speaker proceeded peacefully. But Matan said the process for electing Somalia’s next president was filled with uncertainty. Parliament backtracked in the face of international pressure and the prospect of war between the government and opposition-backed forces.
