The long-awaited election finally happened this year, and Hassan Sheikh Mohamud became president of the Somali federal government. Before and after the elections were characterised by political crises: political disagreements divided the top politicians, and in the administrative regions, armed confrontations with the insurgent movement al-Shabaab intensified, which also led to a deterioration in the social climate. Foreign relations were impacted by the electoral tensions, but they remained stable overall. With the backdrop of higher food and cooking fuel prices globally, fighting in the region, and worsening environmental conditions, a large part of the country faced slower economic growth and a severe humanitarian crisis.
