I It is very sad to hear about Omar Artan. A man who reached the FIFA World Cup referee list and made his country proud should have been welcomed, not turned away.

I had the honor of participating in a dinner engagement and consultative dialogue between the Somali Future Council and Members of both Houses of the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Somali Future Council and to the distinguished Members of Parliament for their continued commitment, time, and efforts dedicated to safeguarding our nation, upholding the rule of law, and strengthening the foundations of our statehood.
At this pivotal moment, we are presented with a valuable opportunity to come together in Mogadishu to deliberate and reach common ground on the critical issues that shape the future of our country. While there have been regrettable developments that risk heightening tensions, we remain steadfast in advocating for restraint, responsible leadership, and constructive engagement rooted in national interest.
The Somali Future Council has demonstrated commendable flexibility, political maturity, and a readiness to pursue compromise in the service of the greater good. I respectfully call upon the leadership of the Federal Government to prioritize national unity, reinforce social cohesion, and avoid actions that may inadvertently deepen divisions among our people.
Finally, I urge all officials and the Somali people at large to extend solidarity and assistance to our fellow citizens affected by the ongoing drought. Addressing their suffering is not only a humanitarian imperative, but also a national responsibility and religious duty that calls for collective action.
