Honoured to have met with H.E Vice President @VP_AliEid of #GalmudugState. Discussed on how to improve local decision making & service delivery capacities? One way: local government elections #LGE to enable citizens to interact with state/federal #gov through local institutions.

Reconciliation is not only about dialogue or legal processes, it is also a spiritual process. #DhabUHishiisiin needs to take place in people's minds & hearts; where trust & love can flourish. @GPBF2021 represents the spiritual process taking root for sustainable peace. #GPBF2021

A report on Galmudug published Feb 2021 by @InterpeaceTweet & @somalipubagenda propose policy considerations on the need for genuine community & political #reconciliation.
The re-emergence of conflict exacerbates an already volatile political situation.

Once a country experiences one #CivilWar, it's at high risk of relapse into violent episodes. Addressing the underlying socio-political & economic conditions reduces the risk of conflict relapse. Recurring crisis & violence is a disturbing pattern of poor political leadership.
The #RootCause of the Somali conflict & recurring political crisis is deep-rooted political, social & economic #INJUSTICE.
Prioritizing #TransitionalJustice & #JusticeReforms to address the legacy of impunity & human rights violation will lay the foundations for #SustainedPeace.
Great conversation on regional dynamics & advancing the partnership with the @_AfricanUnion on Peace Responsive programming. With the Focal Person of the AU #PeaceFund Hafsa @ma3lim_h & @InterpeaceTweet Snr Director of Programme Development, Jean Paul & @Abele_a of Ethiopia.
Southwest leader — as per the roadmap just released — COULD designate as ‘women-only’ the seats now contested for by 4 past Speakers
All regional leaders did exactly that to eliminate veteran politicians during the Senate race.
They cannot be trusted with such powers. Period.
Democratization process of #Somalia’s state governments will be judged NOT by talks of politicians but by actions.
Regional leaders’ conduct during Upper House election (crowning preferred candidates without a real contest) speaks volumes about their undemocratic credentials.

The road to 1P1V is possible through local government elections. This will ensure that #grassroots democratization is rooted at the district level & informs 2025 national 1P1V elections. The #young generation & #PoliticalStability of Somalia depend on the success of this process.
Puntland CSOs occupies an important position in in the development dialogue it provides opportunities to bring communities together & enhance good governance. We've invited PUNSAA chair Mr. Faysal Ahmed (@FaysalQaran) to take part in the discussion Saturday night. #PDISomalia
