In a recent address to the Somali community in Kenya, Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre of Somalia highlighted the current Federal Parliament’s crucial role in achieving significant national milestones, contrasting it sharply with its predecessor.
Barre emphasized that without the current Somali Parliament, the government would not have been able to secure relief from the arms embargo, achieve debt forgiveness, or join the East African Community, accomplishments that were unattainable under the previous administration.

Expanding on his speech, Barre outlined the government’s commitment to progress in security, politics, economics, and social areas through a strategic initiative with six pillars focused on promoting good governance and sustainable development.
Barre also confirmed the administration’s dedication to organizing the country’s first-ever federal election based on direct voting, a key aspect of ongoing political reform efforts.
