Warbixintii dhowaan ka soo baxday afhayeenka Waaxda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Mareykanka, Tommy Pigott, ayaa iftiisay xaaladda sii xumaanaysa ee dalka Suudaan, gaar ahaan walaaca laga qabo isbeddelka khatarta ah ee loo jihaystay dhanka "xal milateri." Iyadoo Jeneraal Cabdifataax al-Burhaan uu sii xoojinayo hadallada mudnaanta siinaya gacan-sarraynta goobta dagaalka halkii uu ka dooran lahaa wadahadal diblomaasiyadeed, beesha caalamku waxay wajahaysaa xaqiiqo qadhaadh: habkani maaha mid beegsanaya oo keliya xoogaga soo horjeeda, balse wuxuu khatar toos ah gelinayaa nolosha malaayiin qof oo rayid ah oo aan waxba galabsan. Hadallada u ololeynaya xalka milateri waxay gacan ka geystaan sharciyeynta rabshadaha socda, waxayna shacabka ku hayaan cabsi joogto ah.

On March 4th, 2024, the Federal Republic of Somalia officially joined the East African Community (EAC) as the bloc's eighth Partner State. This historic event marks a significant milestone in regional integration and economic cooperation within the East African region.
Somalia's accession to the EAC was finalized after the country's Minister of Commerce and Industry, Hon. Jibril Abdirashid Haji Abdi, presented the Instrument of Ratification of the Treaty of Accession to the EAC Secretary General, Hon. (Dr.) Peter Mathuki. With this instrument, Somalia formally signified its commitment to the terms and obligations of the Treaty.
EAC Secretary General Dr. Mathuki welcomed Somalia's membership, emphasizing the benefits it holds for both the Horn of Africa nation and the wider region. He highlighted Somalia's strategic location and abundant natural resources, which can contribute significantly to the EAC's overall development and economic prosperity.
"Somalia has the potential to unlock opportunities in the blue economy and boost intra-regional trade," said Dr. Mathuki.
Somalia's head of delegation, Hon. Haji Abdi, expressed the country's eagerness to contribute to the EAC integration process. He identified key areas of focus, including infrastructure development, trade, and the promotion of sustainable economic growth.
"Somalia is ready to play its role as a contributing member of the Community," stated Hon. Abdi.
Somalia's entry into the EAC follows a 12-month ratification process, during which the country had to domesticate the Treaty of Accession into its domestic legal framework. Now, as a full member, Somalia will participate in all EAC activities and programs, including projects related to infrastructure, trade liberalization, and political cooperation.
The EAC is committed to supporting Somalia's integration into the bloc. A roadmap will be developed detailing how Somalia will implement various EAC commitments, ranging from the Customs Union to the Political Federation.
The accession of Somalia to the EAC is a testament to the growing economic and political interconnectedness within the East African region. It opens up new avenues for collaboration, trade, and investment, promising to enhance the lives and livelihoods of East Africans across borders.
