MUQDISHO — The Prime Minister of Somalia, Hamza Abdi Barre, has called on the Somali women's scholars to play a significant role in nation-building, community awareness, and countering extremist ideas, while participating in the closing of the second conference of the Somali Women's Scholars Association.

He also praised Somali mothers, commending the resilience they have shown during the tough times the country has gone through.
