The Latest Blunder of the Speaker of the Somali Parliament

[Deeq A.]

Recently we have witnessed Somalia’s latest blunder at the IPU election that took place in Luanda, Angola. The Inter-parliamentary union (IPU) fosters cooperation among nations. It provides for lawmakers a space to discuss and find a consensus on pressing matters such as human rights, sustainable development, and peace-building efforts. Furthermore, IPU provides technical assistance to parliaments, helping them develop effective legislative framework and democratic practices. Somalia is a member of this international institution and is represented by five non-permanent members of the federal parliament.
