Sunday, 20,Sep 2025 {HMC} The Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia, H.E. Hamza Abdi Barre, today laid the foundation stone for the new headquarters of the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Higher Learning, a modern facility set to play a key role in advancing the country’s education sector.

Speaking at the ceremony, Prime Minister Hamza emphasized that rebuilding the Ministry’s headquarters reflects the government’s commitment to improving public services and nurturing Somali children, as the Ministry of Education remains one of the nation’s most critical institutions.

“The DanQaran Government has invested heavily in strengthening education, modernizing the entire system from primary to higher education,” he said. “We have established the Higher Education Council to ensure advanced university learning, and we are determined to provide Somali children with quality knowledge and skills.”

The Prime Minister highlighted the Ministry’s central role in safeguarding the country’s most valuable asset—its youth—and stressed the government’s duty to create conducive learning environments across the nation.

He also commended officials of the Ministry of Education for their ongoing efforts to improve services, protect student data, and modernize educational management systems, all of which contribute to building a stronger foundation for Somalia’s future.

Sunday, 20,Sep 2025 {HMC} Egypt has reiterated its full solidarity with Somalia’s efforts to achieve security and stability, confirming plans to send troops as part of the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) in the coming weeks.

In a statement on Saturday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry praised the Somali government’s determination to enforce the rule of law, combat terrorism, and strengthen bilateral strategic relations with Cairo.

The ministry emphasized Egypt’s active contribution to AUSSOM, which is mandated with creating the conditions necessary for Somalia to assume full responsibility for its own security.

“Such efforts are aimed at fulfilling the aspirations of the Somali people for a stable future and at providing a conducive environment for the progress and development they seek,” the ministry said.

The announcement follows the elevation of bilateral ties to the level of a Strategic Partnership during Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s visit to Cairo in January. Egypt reaffirmed its commitment to advancing political, economic, and cultural cooperation to maximize mutual opportunities.

Earlier this month, a 16-member Egyptian military delegation led by Maj. Gen. Islam Radwan visited Somalia, touring areas in Lower Shabelle and Middle Shabelle where Egyptian forces are expected to be stationed.

On Tuesday, President Mohamud confirmed that Mogadishu is awaiting the arrival of the first Egyptian contingent, which will operate under the AU mandate.

In August 2024, Cairo and Mogadishu signed a military cooperation protocol. The following month, Egypt sent military aid to Somalia to support and strengthen the capabilities of the Somali army.

Sunday, 20,Sep 2025 {HMC} The Egyptian government has reaffirmed its full support for the Somali people, expressing its commitment to assisting Somalia in its efforts to ensure lasting peace and stability.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release that Egypt is actively participating in the African Union Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM). The mission is designed to build the capacity of the Somali government to fully assume responsibility for the country’s security and achieve its goal of a stable and prosperous future.

A statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also noted that these statements reflect the critical situation in the Horn of Africa region, as well as the ongoing developments in Somalia, especially the efforts of the Federal Government of Somalia to strengthen order, rule of law and combat terrorism.

Egypt has particularly stressed its deep historical ties with Somalia, and pledged to continue its political, security, and development support to Somalia. This support is crucial at this time, as Somalia is in a transitional phase of building a strong state and countering security threats posed by extremist groups such as Al-Shabaab and ISIS.
