Somalia at peace with itself and the world

[Deeq A.]

HE President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s new term in office is principally guided by the banner of “Somalia at Peace with itself and the world”. This principle is substantially useful toolkit for the enhancement of reconciliation among Somalis and its relationship with the world. In the case of our relationship with our neighbours, Kenya and Ethiopia, Khat trade must also be guided by our core societal and national interest. Making good relations with key neighbours is key but not all costs to the detriment of Somalia’s health, economy, and prospects. There must be a change to the notion that khat import trade is our only a good trade policy – when we only receive poisonous substance in return with our hard-earned cash.
