(SONNA November 14. 2023) President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia chaired an emergency cabinet meeting to address the critical situation arising from devastating floods that have affected over one million people in the country. The severity of the floods has prompted the government to declare a state of emergency, underscoring the urgent need for assistance to the affected populations.

The meeting focused on coordinating a swift and effective response to the humanitarian crisis. Discussions were held regarding the allocation of resources, the involvement of international aid organizations, and the implementation of strategies to provide relief and support to those displaced or severely impacted by the floods.

In addition to addressing the flood crisis, the cabinet meeting also saw the passage of new legislation aimed at improving the financial and communication sectors within the country. The newly introduced law focuses on financial transaction verification, a move designed to enhance the integrity and security of financial dealings in Somalia. This legislation is expected to bring about significant improvements in the financial sector, particularly in terms of transparency and the prevention of fraudulent activities.

Furthermore, the cabinet approved measures for communication quality assurance. This initiative is aimed at upgrading the communication infrastructure and services in Somalia. By ensuring higher standards of communication quality, the government is looking to facilitate better connectivity and information flow, which is crucial not only for the economy but also for emergency responses and day-to-day communications of its citizens.

The emergency cabinet meeting chaired by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud reflects the government’s commitment to addressing immediate humanitarian needs while also paving the way for long-term improvements in key sectors. The new laws and measures are a step towards greater stability and development in Somalia, especially in these challenging times marked by natural disasters and economic hurdles.
