NAIROBI, Kenya<\/b> \u2013 The Minister of Interior, Federal Affairs and Reconciliation of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E. Ali Yusuf Ali (Hosh), represented the nation today at a high-level IGAD ministerial meeting in Nairobi. The summit focused on assessing the progress and future implementation of the Nairobi Declaration on durable solutions for Somali refugees and reintegration of returnees.<\/p>\n
Addressing the forum, Minister Ali Hosh provided a comprehensive overview of the humanitarian landscape in Somalia. He detailed the challenges posed by internal displacement, the reintegration of returning refugees, and the compounding effects of climate change-induced droughts on vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n
Despite these hurdles, the Minister delivered a strong message of resilience and policy progress. “Although challenges persist, Somalia remains fully committed to implementing the principles and goals of the Nairobi Declaration,”<\/b> Minister Hosh stated. “In recent years, we have worked consistently to translate these pledges into effective solutions that improve the lives of refugees, displaced persons, returnees, and host communities.”<\/b><\/p>\n
Minister Hosh highlighted significant legislative achievements as proof of the Federal Government’s dedication to protecting displaced populations. He pointed to the ratification of the Refugee and Asylum Seekers Act<\/b> in September 2023 and the recent passage of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Bill<\/b> earlier this month. These legal frameworks are designed to align Somalia\u2019s national systems with international and regional standards, ensuring rights-based protection and support for affected individuals.<\/p>\n
The meeting in Nairobi brought together ministers from across the IGAD region to strategize on collective approaches to displacement, with Somalia taking a leading role in advocating for sustainable, long-term solutions that go beyond emergency relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
