The President of the Republic of Somaliland H.E. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi Irro hosted an iftar (breaking the daily fasting) consultative meeting with former Presidents of the country, Musa Bihi Abdi and Dahir Rayale Kahin.
The President briefed the two former Presidents on the general situation in the country.
The meeting followed previous ones that the Head of State had with the former Presidents of Somaliland to exchange information and discuss the general situation in the country.
Speaking about the meeting he had with the two former Presidents, the President of Somaliland posted on his social media account, saying, “This evening we had a meeting and iftar together with the former Presidents of our Republic of Somaliland, the 3rd and 5th, Mr. Dahir Rayale Kahin and Mr. Musa Bihi Abdi.
He continued, “The two former Presidents exchanged views on the overall situation of the country in terms of development, economy, peace, and the changes that my government is implementing”.
The President noted that he and his predecessors spoke at length at the history of the reconstruction of this country, the long journey that has been made towards the process of handing over power to the country and our electoral system.
He concluded, “God willing, we will continue with the national consultation meetings that are being held to jointly move this country forward.”
Since he took over the reins of the government H.E. Abdirahman Irro has had several similar tête-à-têtes with both former leaders.
