KISMAYO (Kaab TV) – Members of the political opposition, with the support of the Jubaland and Puntland administrations, are today opening a conference in the city of Kismayo aimed at unifying their political views.
The parties, who previously responded to calls by the Federal Government for dialogue and consultations, are expected to present their political agendas and demands from the government during the Kismayo meeting.
Issues related to elections will also be discussed at the opposition forum, at a time when the Federal Government is moving forward with the implementation of one-person, one-vote local council elections.
The Kismayo meetings will be attended by representatives from various sectors of society, members of the Federal Parliament, and former officials who have previously held public office in the country.
Senior former leaders, including former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, three former Prime Ministers, and other prominent figures, are taking part in the conference being held in Kismayo.
The conference, which is scheduled to conclude on Saturday, is expected to issue a press statement outlining the agreed-upon points, which will be shared with the Federal Government, the public, and the international community.
