Case of missing spy aggravates tensions among fractious Somali leadership

President and prime minister in row over disappearance of cybersecurity expert, reportedly killed by al-Shabaab

The Somali prime minister, Mohamed Hussein Roble, has fired the head of the country's intelligence unit over the disappearance of a female spy.

Roble accused the spy chief, Fahad Yasin Haji Dahir, a former close ally of the president, of mixing politics and security and ordered him to hand over power within three days. He said the handling of the case of the missing 24-year-old was inappropriate".
