Somalia planning minister Jamaal Hassan arrives in Sanaag

Recommended Posts

Believe  me the Sanaag community as whole has never been  this close, and except constant  disturbance from Sl and Puntland, will together forge their future.

Let me see, a young minister went to back his ancestral region to asses the level of development there, so this is a cause for instability?  Considering Hargeisa or Garowe have nothing to help this region, why should the people of region beholden to anyone?

The region is currently semi-isolated. Badhan will have a new tarmac road connecting it to Bosaso. The travel time between Badhan and Bosaso will be cut to mere 2 hours. That will have huge ramifications for the community when it comes to business and future development.

Former planning minister appointed head of IGAD climate research centre

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development IGAD has appointed former Somali federal Planning Minister Gamal Mohamed Hassan as the head of the IGAD Centre for Climate Adaptation and Environmental Protection (CAEP) in Somalia.

IGAD established the research center last December in Mogadishu to combat climate change.

Former Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo launched the first IGAD Centre for Climate Adaptation and Environmental Protection (CAEP) in Mogadishu on December 23, 2021.

"The center will focus on ways and means to utilize research, data and scientific knowledge to help the region cope with climate change and achieve environmental sustain inability... We have set aside a strategically located facility, and we will take a leading role in resource mobilization," Farmajo told the media during the opening ceremony.

Recent studies have directly linked severe drought and famine in Somalia and climate change.

Hassan represented Somalia at the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. He told world leaders that instead of fleeing insecurity, as is commonly assumed, Somali youth choose dangerous migration routes to avoid desperation exacerbated by climate change.

He added that as global emissions rise, Somalia and other under-developed countries will suffer and urged developed countries with the highest emissions to pay their part.

Ambassador Gamal M. Hassan served as Minister of Planning, Investment, and Economic Development in the Farmajo administration. He was also Somalia's Ambassador to Kenya and the Permanent Representative of Somalia to the United Nations Environment Program and UN-Habitat, as well as a liaison to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
