Turkish government on Wednesday joined Somalia’s partners in the call to resolve the political differences at the bargaining table amid a two-day meeting this week failed to iron out the standoff.
In a statement, Turkish foreign ministry has expressed concern over the continued political deadlock, urging the leaders from federal government and its member states together to resolve disputes “with an inclusive and constructive dialogue on the basis of the consensus reached on Sept. 17, 2020.”
“We are concerned that the lack of consensus so far amongst the stakeholders on the election process in Somalia might disrupt the Somali people’s expectation for the development of their country, as well as achieving peace and prosperity,” the statement reads in part.
Turkey emphasized the importance of holding the elections without further delay.
“We reiterate our support to the friendly and brotherly Somali people and Government to overcome this deadlock as soon as possible” the ministry.
