Sunday 2, Feb 2025 {HMC} Somali Prime Minister Hamsa Abdi Barre met with the newly appointed Ambassador of the State of Palestine, Rowaid Adil Mohamed, at his office in Mogadishu on Sunday to discuss enhancing ties between Somalia and Palestine.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Barre congratulated Ambassador Rowaid on his new role and reaffirmed Somalia’s longstanding support for the Palestinian people. He emphasized Somalia’s commitment to the historical right of Palestinians to freedom and independence, while condemning the displacement and suffering of the Palestinian population.
“Somalia has always stood by the Palestinian people, and this commitment will not change,” Barre said.
Ambassador Rowaid expressed gratitude to the Somali government for its unwavering support and acknowledged the deep historical connection between the two peoples. “The Palestinian people are well aware of the value of Somalia’s consistent support,” said the ambassador.
Last month, Somalia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Moallim Fiqi Ahmed emphasized Somalia’s stance on the Palestinian cause at the United Nations Security Council’s 9841st meeting, which addressed the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Fiqi praised the recent ceasefire agreement brokered by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, reaffirming Somalia’s solidarity with Palestine.
