Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, Somalia

Congratulations to Sagal Abdi-Wali (@Sagal_AW) on making history as the first MP of Somali heritage elected to the UK House of Commons! Such a proud moment for Somalis everywhere and an inspiration to a new generation of young Somalis. Hambalyo, Sagal! 🇸🇴🇬🇧

Reflecting on my participation in the @WEF “Powering the New Economy” discussion: Africa’s voice must be central to the global energy-security agenda. With around 600 million Africans still lacking electricity, we need greater investment in generation, grids, renewables and productive energy use. For Somalia, energy is a key pillar of our National Transformation Plan and is essential to jobs, industry and sustainable growth.

A warm farewell today to @US2SOMALIA Chargé d’Affaires Justin Davis, a friend of Somalia. We value the close and enduring partnership between Somalia and the United States. 🇸🇴🇺🇸

Somalia is reviving its democratic heritage by restoring to the Somali people the right to choose the leaders they believe can best advance the nation’s progress.

As we discussed today with our European partners our shared commitment to democracy, constitutionalism, peace and security, and economic transformation, our citizens were casting their votes across Southwest State, a practical expression of Somalia’s democratic progress.

The Somalia–EU Partnership Dialogue today reaffirms our longstanding shared commitment to peace and security, democratic governance, and economic transformation under a strategic and mutually beneficial framework. 🇸🇴🤝🇪🇺

Countering violent extremism is not unique to Somalia, but as the Federal Government, we have chosen a nationally owned, people-centered approach linking security gains with stabilization, prevention, and above all, democratization that gives youth a real voice in Somalia’s future.
