In a historic move, Somalia has achieved a long-cherished dream by joining the East African Community (EAC). The journey to EAC membership reflects Somalia's commitment to overcoming challenges and contributing to the overall advancement of the region. Dr. Abdusalam Omer, Somalia's Special Presidential Envoy to the EAC, sheds light on the significance of this milestone and the opportunities it presents.
Economic Integration:
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's steadfast commitment to EAC membership demonstrates Somalia's eagerness to be an active participant in the region's progress. Despite internal challenges, Somalia's involvement in commerce and investment across East Africa showcases a broader dedication to fostering economic links, cultural exchanges, and collaboration in various fields.
Geopolitical Advantage:
With a coastline stretching 3,300 kilometers along the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, Somalia boasts the longest coastline on the African continent. This geographical advantage presents strategic opportunities, particularly in the fishing industry. Dr. Omer highlights the potential for agricultural development, food security, and economic growth as Somalia improves its security situation.
Political Dynamics:
While the majority of Somalia's parliamentarians support EAC integration, a democratic setting allows for a minority to express resistance. Dr. Omer clarifies that the EAC Treaty respects the constitutions of member states, addressing concerns about political federation and sovereignty.
Prospects for Development:
The integration into the EAC opens doors to numerous benefits, including infrastructure development. Dr. Omer envisions the possibility of a bullet train connecting cities across the region, fostering connectivity and economic growth. Additionally, the EAC provides a platform for shared initiatives, expos, and frequent communication, enhancing understanding among member nations and fostering regional unity.
Security and Counterterrorism:
Somalia's fight against Al Shabaab, a challenge persisting for 15 years, has seen notable successes. Dr. Omer emphasizes the regional nature of the threat and the EAC's collaborative efforts in combating global organizations like Al Shabaab. The EAC's coordinated approach provides an avenue for Somalia to strengthen its security and defense capabilities.
Recent Achievements:
The recent lifting of a 30-year arms embargo and the cancellation of debts totaling $4.5 billion are monumental successes for Somalia. Dr. Omer sees these achievements as indicators of rising confidence in Somalia's prosperity and stability, opening doors for further support in resolving security concerns and maintaining peace.
Somalia's journey to EAC membership is a testament to its resilience, commitment, and contribution to regional progress. The opportunities that arise from this integration promise economic growth, enhanced collaboration, and strengthened security. As Somalia emerges from its tumultuous past, the EAC provides a platform for a brighter future, exemplifying the power of unity in overcoming challenges.
