Juba, (SONNA) – The National Communications Authority (NCA) of Somalia participated in the 1st Advisory Council and the 30th Annual Assemblies of the East African Communications Organization (EACO), held in Juba, South Sudan.
The event, hosted by the National Communications Authority of South Sudan, officially began on June 9, 2025, and concluded on June 13, 2025. It has brought together representatives from EACO’s five assemblies: regulators, postal operators, telecommunications operators, and internet service providers across the East African region.
This year’s assembly marks a significant milestone for Somalia, which recently joined the East African Community (EAC). The participation of NCA Somalia underscores the country’s commitment to harmonizing its communications policies and regulations with regional frameworks to promote integration and accelerate ICT development.
“Such events are important for NCA Somalia as we understand that communication is no longer confined within national boundaries — it now cuts across borders through roaming services, shared digital platforms, and transnational cybersecurity threats,” said Mr. Mustafa Yasin Sheikh, Director General of NCA Somalia.
