- There is an exchange of fire between the opposition military and government forces at Fagah, says Mogadishu resident Halima Osman.

Military vehicles have been seen in the area.

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed's term actually expired on February 8, but he has remained in power because Somalia's central government and regional government have failed to agree on how the country should go to the polls.

The President recently signed a controversial law extending his term of office by two years since the lower house approved it.
