As 2023 draws to a close, the year has been marked by momentous events marking major milestones by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud (HSM) that will solidify and secure Somalia’s stability, development, independence and sovereignty. Due to HSM’s tireless efforts, Somalia has in a span of few months secured debt relief, attained ascension into the East African Community (EAC) and succeeded in getting the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to lift the crippling three decades-old arms embargo on Somalia. Further, the December 12, 2023, Somalia Security Conference hosted by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud at the UN Headquarters and attended by large contingent comprising Somalia’s international partners has been hailed as a pivotal moment in the advancement on the security front representing hope for Somalia and the entire region.
