MP criticizes National consultative forum held in Mogadishu

Federal MP Hiis Muse Awl has criticized National Consultative Forum which concluded in Mogadishu this month, over lack of inclusivity.

Speaking to reporters in Mogadishu, the politician faulted any political agreement on model for electoral transition on ‘quasi agreement” saying the majority of the participants were from the southern.

The MP pointed finger at the way the forum was organized saying it did not represent the entire country.

“Absence of representatives from regions in the northern part of the country such Northern part which was not proportional representation” he said.

Somaliland, located in northwestern Somalia declared its independence from the rest of the country as de facto sovereign state in 1991 but it has not been recognized internationally yet.
