Hamza Abdi Barre, has officially opened the First National Justice Forum, a landmark gathering focused on strengthening the rule of law, enhancing accountability, and rebuilding public trust in Somalia\u2019s judicial institutions.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, the Prime Minister said Somalia is undergoing a critical phase of state-building, which requires an independent, transparent, and reliable justice system capable of serving the needs of its citizens. He stressed the importance of reinforcing the rule of law and improving judicial institutions to ensure credible justice, lasting peace, and a stable state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout trustworthy justice, there can be no lasting security, public confidence, investment, or the modern statehood Somalia deserves. Judicial reform is a national priority and the only path to a stable and prosperous Somalia,\u201d PM Hamza stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added that a strong judiciary is essential for free and fair elections, democratic governance, and restoring public confidence. He reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment\u2014under the DanQaran administration\u2014to establishing the Judicial Service Commission and the Constitutional Court, both seen as crucial pillars of judicial independence.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister further emphasized that finalizing the Provisional Constitution forms the basis for implementing Somalia\u2019s legal and federal governance systems. A completed constitution, he noted, would deliver political stability, a unified governance framework, protection of citizens\u2019 rights, and fair justice for all.<\/p>\n<p>PM Hamza thanked Somalia\u2019s justice sector for organizing the inaugural forum and urged participants to engage meaningfully in discussions and propose practical, impactful recommendations that advance judicial reform and strengthen justice delivery across the country.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-452102\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1150.jpeg 612w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1150-300x216.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-452103\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1151.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1151.jpeg 612w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1151-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1151-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1151-420x280.jpeg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-452104\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1152.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1152.jpeg 612w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1152-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1152-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1152-420x280.jpeg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-452105\" src=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1153.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1153.jpeg 612w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1153-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1153-330x220.jpeg 330w, https:\/\/sonna.so\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_1153-420x280.jpeg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mogadishu, (SONNA)\u2014 The Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia, H.E.
