Somalia’s President His Excellency President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said today that his government is aiming to lead the country to have a successful national election in three years time.
Speaking at the opening of European Union co-hosted ‘New Deal for Somalia’ in Brussels, the president called International Community to back his country’s recovery.
“The New Deal will help Somalia lay a strong foundation for building reliable, transparent, accountable and functioning state institutions, respectful of the fundamental rights and freedoms and equality of its citizens,” President Mohamud said.
“I am very confident that with our collective leadership and courage we can continue this journey to a successful conclusion,” he added.
“The New Deal must deliver on the ground. Let us rally round to rebuild Somalia together. Let us make sure the Compact revolutionizes the international community’s approach to a country shattered by war and ready to enjoy the fruits of peace. The best possible legacy of the New Deal is a New Somalia.”
Somali president called on international partners to support Somalia’s money transfer system which is the lifeline of money families inside the country.
“It is the poor people who will suffer most from this measure. We also call on all remittance companies to be completely law-abiding and transparent in their operations in order to provide confidence to the banks.”
The conference is underway in Brussels and expected to be concluded in the evening.
It’s hoped to be raised more than one billion Euros to help Somalia’s efforts to rebuild the war torn nation.
