The electoral heist in Baidoa and the installation of Abdulqadir M. Nur, aka Jama Tik Tok, as MP has stunned Somalis.
It was not entirely unexpected.
Rise of Tik Tok marks not just consolidation of HSM's proto-dictatorship but also institutionalisation of Turkish influence in Somalia.

Eritrea's forces are on a "rampage" and last week summarily executed hundreds of women and children in Tigray's town of May Abay, the TPLF says. Ethiopia must do its part to get rid of external forces if it is to live up to its end of the November 2 peace deal, they say.
