The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has extended his warmest greetings to Somalis celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end to the holy month of Ramadan. “Eid Mubarak!….May your year be full of blessings, peace, justice, development & happiness,” said Somali president in a statement.
The Somali president has also sent condolences to the family and friend of those who lost their loved ones in Al Shabaab attacks in the country during this year.
While also speaking about the forthcoming general elections, Mr Mohamud has expressed hope for the 2016 elections, in which he said it will be the 1st election to be held in the country in 47 years.
Hassan Sheikh Mohamud urged the people of Somalia to jointly take part in the upcoming elections due to be held in August, later this year.
The planned elections are expected to become a way out for the long-running clan-based power sharing model known as (4.5) as the leaders agreed to hold one-man-one vote elections in 2020,
