Mogadishu, (SONNA) — The Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia, H.E. Hamza Abdi Barre, today launched a major plan to reopen 52 roads in the capital that had been closed for the past 15 years due to security concerns.
The Prime Minister said the reopening reflects the significant progress made in improving Mogadishu’s security, making road closures no longer necessary.
“Over the past 15 years, tough circumstances forced the closure of these roads. The real solution, however, is not to close roads but to defeat terrorism and eliminate the threat it poses,” he said.
Prime Minister Hamza noted that the DanQaran government has made great efforts to strengthen security in the capital by enforcing laws to prevent the possession of heavy weapons and other activities that could endanger public safety.
He commended the security agencies, the Benadir Regional Administration, and the residents of Mogadishu for their cooperation, emphasizing that security is a shared responsibility requiring everyone’s contribution.
