The inaugural meeting of the Jigjiga Forum, an annual platform for leaders, scholars, and policy experts from the Horn of Africa to discuss peace, governance, development, and regional integration in the Horn of Africa, opened today at the Shabelley Resort, near Jigjiga.
My profound thanks to the leaders and scholars who attended the conference, taking time from their busy schedules.
I hope that the discussions at the forum will yield ideas that will inform national and regional policies and strategies aimed at addressing conflict-related challenges, climate vulnerabilities, and cross-border interactions.
The longstanding dogma that cross-border affinities that do not conform to the logic of political constructs are a threat to the cohesion and continuity of national states should be replaced by pragmatic acceptance of these organic relationships as an opportunity for regional economic integration and social stability.
- Mustafa has been more than clear about his vision for Somali Region and for Ethiopia. He stated that there is no contradiction between the people of Somali Regionโs ethnicity and nationality (citizenship) from the first days he assumed the responsibility of leading the Somali Region in August 2018. He stated that he believes in federalism but rejects the hateful and divisive politics that TPLF used as a strategy to cling to power.ย
Great read !

The addition of staff residence for medical professionals of Sheikh Hassan Yabarre Teaching University Hospital and a new administration block will enhance the services of the Referral Hospital. With two more public hospitals to be inaugurated in Jigjiga in the coming months (Karamara MCH Hospital and Somali Region Police Hospital), and about four new private hospitals expected to start work in Jigjiga, access to quality health services is expected to improve.
