IGAD is striving to strengthen its cyber defense. Excited to have joined the first regional cyber drill.

Strengthening Regional Cyber Resilience Through Cooperation

As digital transformation accelerates across Eastern Africa, cybersecurity is essential to protecting critical infrastructure, digital services, and regional connectivity.

Today, IGAD launched the Regional Cybersecurity Exercise (Cyber Drill Program) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, bringing together participants from across Member States to strengthen cybersecurity preparedness and regional cooperation.

Over five days, the programme will combine policy dialogue, hands-on technical training, and cyber attacks simulations to enhance incident response, improve coordination, and strengthen information sharing across borders.

Through EARDIP, IGAD continues to support Member States in building a secure, resilient, and trusted digital future.

The Somali community has already made history. Thanks Fateh for spearheading this grassroots campaign. You have come up with the mentality and mobilization needed to secure triumph.

[Omar Fateh @OmarFatehMN]

Thank you, Minneapolis!

While this wasn’t the outcome we wanted, I am incredibly grateful to every single person who supported our grassroots campaign.

I’ll keep fighting alongside you to build the city we deserve. Onward.

@Ayaan I call this a survival tactic. You wrote this statement to please the bosses. I hope they come across it. Palestinians have everything necessary, including population, land, aerial and marine domains. We look for the Delimitation!

Kudos to the Min. Somalia Post is among the key areas where we can fully revitalize our socio-economy and identity on the global stages.

This regulation is essential for regulating submarine cables and plays a pivotal role in developing country’s digital transformation. @MoCTSomalia @msomali55

[Ministry of Communications & Technology (MoCT) @MoCTSomalia]

The Council of Ministers has approved the Regulatory Framework on Submarine Cables.
H.E. Minister @msomali55 welcomed this as a crucial advancement in securing Somalia’s digital sovereignty and establishing a clear legal foundation for managing submarine cable operations. #MoCT

H.E. President Dr. @HassanSMohamud has signed into law the Insurance (Takaful) Bill, the Income Tax Bill, the Revised Financial Institutions Bill, and the Revised Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Bill today. These landmark legislations lay the foundation for transformative economic reforms in #Somalia, bolstering the financial sector, enhancing investor confidence, and driving inclusive economic growth that creates meaningful opportunities for the #Somali people.

Congratulations Somali youth for the commemoration of Somali Youth Day.

On 15th May 1943, the Somali Youth Club, which eventually grew into the Somali Youth League, was established. The League was instrumental in gaining independence.

On this International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, let’s commit to be vigilant and to work together to build a world of justice and dignity for all – in honour of all the victims and survivors of the genocide. https://t.co/hn5kLfuito

[Said Maax @SaidMaax]

What happened in Rwanda was a barbarous, inhumane carnage primarily against the Tutis and moderate other Rwandans. Today’s Rwanda is well developed and has managed to escape the impact of 1994 genocide through its resilience and commitment.

[United Nations @UN]

On Monday, we honour the 1 million people who perished in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda 31 years ago, and reflect on the suffering of those who survived.

Today we had the opportunity to visit the Lukodi community in Northern Uganda which experienced a horrific massacre in 2004 at the hands of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). This community is now playing a huge role in sustaining peace.
