His Excellency Ismail Omar Guelleh, the President of Djibouti, has successfully orchestrated the reopening of crucial discussions between the Federal Republic of Somalia and Somaliland. This development, taking place at the Presidential Palace on Thursday, marks a pivotal moment in the relationship between the two regions.

The talks, which had been on hold since 2019, resumed with direct dialogue between Somalia’s President Hassan Sheik Mahamoud and Somaliland’s President Muse Bihi Abdi. This meeting signifies a breakthrough in the long-standing issues that have divided Somalia and Somaliland, with President Gelle playing a central role in facilitating this engagement.

Djibouti’s diplomatic intervention, led by President Gelle, has been instrumental in restoring communication between the two parties. The leaders of both Somalia and member state of Somaliland have expressed equal trust in President Gelle’s ability to mediate, highlighting his reputation and influence in the region.

This initiative underscores Djibouti’s commitment to fostering peace and stability in the Horn of Africa. The resumed talks are expected to address the primary points of contention between Somalia and Somaliland, paving the way for potential resolutions to long standing disputes.

The international community has welcomed this development, seeing it as a positive step towards greater regional cooperation and harmony. The outcomes of these talks are eagerly anticipated, as they hold significant implications for the future of both Somalia and Somaliland.
