MOGADISHU – Somalia opened a three-day, high-level meeting in Mogadishu on Tuesday to discuss implementation of the IGAD Protocol on the Free Movement of Persons, gathering government officials and regional representatives from across the Intergovernmental Authority on Development bloc.
The talks matter because they mark another step in a regional integration drive that began in 2017. How the protocol is carried out will help determine whether people, workers, and traders can move more freely across Horn of Africa borders, a goal tied closely to Somalia’s efforts to build stronger regional and economic partnerships.
Officials from Somalia’s federal institutions overseeing migration, border management, and regional affairs are taking part in the session. Discussions are set to focus on the practical steps needed to put the protocol into effect and to deepen coordination among IGAD’s member states.
Abdulkadir Mohamud Yusuf, known as “Burgal,” director of the Africa Department at Somalia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, opened the session with a welcome to delegates.
