PRESS RELEASE| The Ministry of Constitution, Federalism and Reconciliation wishes to express its grave concern on the selection of the civil society groups for the Somali Istanbul Pre-Conference. As already highlighted by many parts of the Somali Society, including key signatories of the Road Map, the selection process lacks transparency, and may inadvertently impact the progress made thus far on the End of Transition processes. A quick glance at the invitee list shows that the civil society members are not inclusive and exclude mainstream civil society groups. Furthermore, politically motivated members of the parliament and politicians were amongst the so called civil society groups that went to Istanbul.


The Minister of Constitution, Federalism and Reconciliation H.E. Abdurahman Hosh Jibril said “We register our displeasure that an unrepresentative self-selected group within the pre-conference attendees have hijacked and thus politicized an integral part of the process, a fact which could potentially undermine the integrity and the spirit of all of the agreements and principles agreed to by all stakeholders in the last 9 months, including the recent Addis Ababa Communiqué.” The Minister welcomed an urgent and timely resolve to the concerns of the Somali people by working closely with the Turkish government in ensuring the success of this Pre-Conference and the Istanbul Conference II.

The Ministry acknowledges the full commitment of the government and the people of Somalia to the fruitful results of the recent Addis Ababa Meeting and reminds all of our international partners of the importance of unity of purpose on ending the transition. We call for the continued and unreserved support for the Roadmap process, Mogadishu Consultative Conference, Mogadishu Civil Society Meeting, the Garowe 1 and 2 Agreements, the Galkayo Agreement, the on-going Traditional Leaders’ conference and the Addis Ababa Communiqué. The Transitional Federal Government relies on the brotherly and friendly countries of Somalia, inter alia the Turkish Government, to support the implementation of the sustainable state-building process for peace.

The Minister further added that “we are looking forward for an urgent review of our concerns in order to put the process on its right track. I must remind all that at this critical juncture, the Somali government and its international partners ought to show a unity of purpose so that we can end the transition as expeditiously as outlined under the Roadmap agreements.”

The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia expresses gratitude for the developmental and humanitarian role played by Turkey and for its continued support for the people of Somalia. Equally, the Transitional Federal Government is deeply appreciative of the good intentions of the Turkish government in convening and facilitating the Istanbul Conference to rally the support of the international community for Somalia’s future.

Mogadishu Consultative Conference, Mogadishu Civil Society Meeting, the Garowe 1 and 2 Agreements, the Galkayo Agreement, the on-going Traditional Leaders’ conference and the Addis Ababa Communiqué.

I wonder why this communique had to come out of Addis Ababa?

Is there any other country in the world that has the power to summon the leaders from their neighboring country and have them create a communique?

^ if the meeting wasn't held in addis but in garowe, he would say that it proves that faroole can not travel outside of garowe. if was held in galkacyo, he would say that it proves that alin is more powerful than faroole. if it was held in mogadishu, he would say that it proves that faroole is weak and controlled by sharif. this man never stops.

No, no, no. The meeting could never have been held in Gaalkacyo because the most influential man from that city is attending the Istanbul conference as we speak. Also, the meeting wouldnt take place in Mogadishu because President Sharif supports it. I agree with you, if Farole held this meeting in Garowe I would have said that he is doing so because he couldn't hold it anywhere else. Which is the truth.

Listen, historically, the two most influential elders in Puntland have both went against Farole and are attending the meeting.

Is this English? I mean, we all make mistakes but lets be real.

Actor? What he bring? Treat?

reer puntland need to Tone it down, you are only uniting the axes of evil, people that would never have united but since reer puntland are against they become united under a unholy alliance

Remember the constitution and how some turned around 360 degrees in favour.

the problem with iriranbul conference is; it looks like a blank check and we not sure what might come out of it, so a calculated pre-emptive strike is needed but don`t push a unmoving car because you might kick start it

sharif wants to play the embagati tricked that was played against cabdiqasim which so the TNG become the TFG

It just shows how incompetent he is .
You don't cry about a group of somali people that went to a conference about Somalia , when you pretend to be a minister of the unELECTED [ thus unrepresentative} government of Somalia .

We register our displeasure that an unrepresentative self-selected group within the pre-conference attendees have hijacked and thus politicized an integral part of the process,

who is "we" ?
