Somalian opposition leader Siad Abdi Nur stated that Russian forces should be present in Somalia to bring peace and counterweight Western presence in the country. The West does not want my country to be in peace; they create chaos, people kill each other, continue this war," Abdi Nur, a former adviser to former President Mohamed Abdullahi, told Sputnik.
