Mombasa (SONNA) – Ms. Saadiya Mohamed Nur, Director of the Women’s Development Department in the Ministry of Family and Human Rights Development, has been elected as the Chairperson of the IGAD Women, Peace and Security Forum (IWPSF) in a significant development for regional gender equality and peace efforts. The election took place yesterday in Mombasa, Kenya.

The Somali Ministry of Family and Human Rights Development has praised the collaborative efforts of the newly formed leadership team, which includes Deputy Chairperson Ms. Amer Manyok Deng from South Sudan and Secretary Hon. Dora Byamukama from Uganda.

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and its member states continue to make concerted efforts to enhance peace and security across the region, with a particular focus on Sudan. The new leadership team is committed to advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda, which aims to address the unique challenges faced by women in conflict and post-conflict settings and to ensure their full participation in peacebuilding processes.

This election marks a pivotal moment for Somalia, highlighting its growing influence and leadership within IGAD. Ms. Saadiya Mohamed Nur’s election as Chairperson underscores the nation’s dedication to promoting gender equality and empowering women to play a crucial role in peace and security initiatives throughout the region.

The Somali Ministry of Family and Human Rights Development looks forward to working closely with its regional counterparts to foster a more inclusive and secure environment for all.
