Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The National Communications Authority (NCA), in collaboration with the Academy of Arts, Culture and Literature and the Regional Somali Language Academy (AGA), on Monday launched a Somali-language cybersecurity terminology initiative aimed at developing and standardizing cybersecurity-related terms in the Somali language.

The launch event, held at the Regional Somali Language Academy headquarters in Mogadishu, brought together government officials, academics, linguists, cybersecurity experts, technology specialists, and other stakeholders.

Speaking at the event, Acting Director General of the Academy of Arts, Culture and Literature, Abdifitah Ahmed Abukar (Foodcade), highlighted the importance of ensuring that the Somali language keeps pace with technological advancements.

“Language is the home of knowledge. If our language cannot keep up with modern technological developments, it becomes difficult for society to fully benefit from emerging innovations. This terminology initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen the Somali language, improve public services, and enhance public awareness,” he said.
