Somali President and Vice fight dirty during live event [VIDEO]

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, the President of Somali, has been caught on camera exchanging blows with the Deputy President, Mahdi Mohamed Guled.

Mohamed was caught exchanging blows with his deputy during a press conference.  Speaking during a live event, the president suddenly stood up and started punching his deputy.

The deputy also responded, leading to a serious fight as those around attempted to separate the duo. Since Somali broke away from Somalia in 1991, the nation has never had peace.

In 2017, Mohamed ran for president against 19 opponents. His campaign was based on nationalism, freedom from famine, and the defeat of the Islamic militant movement of Al-Shabaab.

The voters were limited to 275 members of parliament and 54 senators, and there were widespread reports of vote-buying. In a run-off, he ran against three remaining candidates, until incumbent President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud conceded.

As a result, Mohamed won the 2017 elections on 8 February and was sworn into office on 16 February. During his inauguration, Somalia’s new president called on al Shabaab fighters and other Islamist militant groups to surrender.
