In a significant step toward reinforcing national cohesion, President H.E. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro hosted a pivotal meeting today at the Presidential Palace with the leadership of Somaliland’s three national political parties: WADDANI, KAAH, and KULMIYE.
The discussions centered on strengthening national unity, ensuring political stability, and addressing critical issues tied to Somaliland’s sovereignty and development.
President Irro emphasized the importance of sustained dialogue and collaboration among political stakeholders to uphold democratic governance and drive national progress. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to working closely with opposition parties, recognizing their vital role in shaping Somaliland’s future.
Our government is ready to engage in full cooperation with opposition parties dedicated to nation-building, President stated, pledging to include them in consultations on key national matters.
The leaders of WADDANI, KAAH, and KULMIYE expressed appreciation for the President’s initiative, offering insights on enhancing democratic processes and election frameworks.
They voiced their commitment to collaborate with the government on initiatives that serve Somaliland’s national interests.
The meeting also addressed regional tensions, with a strong condemnation of what was described as “blatant interference” by the Somali government in Somaliland’s eastern Sool region.
The leaders accused Somalia’s administration, led by President Hassan Sheikh, of fomenting political unrest in the area, calling it an attack on Somaliland’s sovereignty.
The Somaliland government urged the international community to monitor these actions closely, warning of potential escalation that could threaten stability in the Horn of Africa.
The gathering concluded with a shared commitment to unity and collective action on national priorities, signaling a unified front to address both internal and external challenges.
This meeting underscores Somaliland’s ongoing efforts to maintain its democratic stability and assert its sovereignty amid regional complexities.
