Change of Government in Kosovo: Constitutional Court Paves the Way

According to the Constitutional Court ruling, a new government led by Avdullah Hoti of the LDK is expected to be formed swiftly

Following the overthrow of the previous government by a vote of no confidence on 25 March 2020 initiated by the coalition partner Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), there has long been uncertainly about further political developments on the Kosovo field. Although on 30 April President Hashim Thaçi had mandated Avdullah Hoti of the LDK to form a government, the legitimacy of the mandate was however called into question and brought before the Constitutional Court by members of the Vetëvendosje (VV), the party belonging to the toppled Prime Minister Albin Kurti. The legal blockade for the formation of a new government has now been eliminated with the final decision taken by the Constitutional Court: late in the evening on 28 May, the Constitutional Court ruled that President Thaçi acted lawfully when he gave Hoti the task of forming the government.

Steigende Spannungen zwischen Kenia und Somalia

Konfliktpotential vor den ersten freien Wahlen in Somalia

Somalia gilt als das Pulverfass am Horn von Afrika. Vor allem als Rückzugs- und Rekrutierungsstätte des dschihadistischen Al-Qaida Ablegers Al-Shabaab stellt es ein großes internationales Sicherheitsrisiko dar. So kam es zu Beginn des Jahres zu Angriffen Al-Shabaabs auf Militärstützpunkte der USA und des Vereinigten Königreichs auf kenianischem Grund, sowie weitere Angriffe auf Zivilisten nahe der Grenze zu Somalia. Kenias Interesse in Somalia geht jedoch über den Kampf gegen Al-Shabaab hinaus. Vor allem der Streit um Öl- und Gasvorkommen vor der Küste führen seit Jahren zu gegenseitigen Provokationen. Anfang März folgte die bislang letzte Provokation nach einer Operation des somalischen Militärs gegen einen geflohenen Minister der Regierung von Jubaland State in der Nähe der kenianischen Grenzstadt Mandera. Präsident Kenyatta warnte Somalia daraufhin, „keinen Krieg zu provozieren“.
