President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud Calls for National Unity Forum in Eid Message

Mogadishu, Somalia – President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of the Federal Republic of Somalia announced an initiative to convene a National Unity Forum, urging politicians, community leaders, and stakeholders to collaborate in the fight against extremism and the advancement of a stable, federal Somalia.

The president’s message, delivered as the government officially declared Sunday, March 30th, 2025, as the first day of Eid al-Fitr, emphasized reconciliation and collective action in shaping Somalia’s future.

President Mohamud extended an open invitation to political and traditional leaders, stressing the need for inclusive dialogue to strengthen national resilience.

“I am extending an open invitation to politicians and community leaders so that their perspectives and contributions can be part of the fight against extremist militants and the establishment of a democratic, federal system governed by our constitution and laws,” he stated.

He emphasized that Somalia’s struggle against extremist groups is not rooted in ideological differences but in the defense of national sovereignty.

“Our dispute with extremists is not about political ideology but about the survival of a free and independent Somalia. We welcome this unity of purpose in safeguarding our national integrity,” the president added.

The call for a National Unity Forum comes at a pivotal moment as Somalia’s government intensifies military operations against Al-Shabaab while pursuing broader state-building efforts. The forum aims to foster consensus on key issues, including:

  • Security and counterterrorism strategies
  • Constitutional finalization and federal governance
  • Reconciliation and political inclusivity

Analysts view this move as an effort to consolidate gains made in recent offensives against militants while addressing political divisions that could hinder long-term stability.

Alongside his political appeal, President Mohamud extended warm Eid greetings to Somalis, urging unity and compassion during the festive period.

“As we celebrate Eid, let us remember the values of peace, generosity, and togetherness. Our strength lies in our unity, and together, we will overcome all challenges,” he said.

The proposed forum is expected to draw attention from Somalia’s international partners, including the African Union, United Nations, and key allies, who have long supported stabilization efforts. A cohesive national dialogue could enhance coordination between federal and regional authorities, critical for securing further international assistance.

Details on the forum’s structure, participants, and agenda are anticipated in the coming weeks. Observers suggest that successful talks could pave the way for a more unified approach to Somalia’s most pressing challenges.
