Former Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo has called for unity and political dialogue, stressing the importance of Somali traditional elders in finding a solution to the country\u2019s political impasse.<\/p>\n

Farmaajo said he was echoing a previous call made by former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and current President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, while speaking at an inauguration ceremony in the country.<\/p>\n

The event, he said, demonstrated the great need for Somalis for unity and political consensus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Presidents\u2019 call was based on the role that Somali traditional elders who met in the country\u2019s capital can play in finding a solution to the political impasse in the country. Therefore, I also call on Somali elders to stand up for their responsibilities and play a significant role in reaching a political solution that will avert political regression and civil war,\u201d Farmaajo said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the call was particularly illuminating the role that Somali traditional leaders, who recently met in the capital, Mogadishu, can play in helping resolve the complex political disputes.<\/p>\n

The former president called on traditional elders to stand up for their historic role and actively participate in efforts to achieve a lasting political solution that can save the country from setbacks and civil strife.<\/p>\n

Farmaajo also sent a message to all political leaders in the country, both conservative and opposition, calling on them to give traditional elders a real opportunity to participate in the Somali state-building process.<\/p>\n

He noted that elders were the backbone of the political system of the Third Republic, which shows their continued importance to the stability and future of the country.<\/p>\n
