Traders in Somalia's capital declare strike over new arbitrary taxes
Traders in Mogadishu announce a strike to protest rising and arbitrary taxation and fees.
Traders in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, have declared a strike in response to the government's imposition of new taxes and arbitrary fees, which they argue are being levied despite the country's poor economic conditions. The business community claims that these additional levies exacerbate inflation, erode purchasing power, and increase unemployment, further straining the fragile private sector.
