MOGADISHU, Somalia — Staring at trucks festooned with campaign signs winding their way through the streets of the capital, Hawa Mahamoud was disappointed that she would not have a chance to directly vote for her candidate for president in November.
“I don’t like the way we are going to vote,” said the mother of five who owns a hotel business on the outskirts of the capital. “We should be given the opportunity to elect the president of our choice rather [than] using parliamentarians to impose leaders on us.”
