Somali Minister of Education Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir stated that the focus of the ongoing political debate in the country is not the term of office, but the electoral process.
Emphasizing that indirect elections are no longer an option for Somalia in the 21st century.
Abdulkadir noted that the main issue is reaching an agreement on how the elections will be conducted.
Minister also said that the door to dialogue with the opposition remains open and that no one has rejected the president’s call for consultations, with all sides willing to participate in talks.
He added that debates over timing should take a back seat, stating: “If an agreement is reached, we can stay together for one or two years; what matters is reaching consensus on the elections.”
