US Embassy Donates Vehicles to Somalia’s Judicial Institutions

GOOBJOOG NEWS | MOGADISHU: The United States Embassy in Mogadishu has donated three vehicles to Somalia’s Judicial Training Institute, the South West State Office of the Attorney General, and the Hirshabelle Office of the Attorney General.  

This donation is part of the ongoing support from the United States to Somalia, specifically through the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and its Somalia Justice Support Program (SOMJUST).

Speaking during the handover ceremony in Mogadishu, U.S. Charge d’Affaires Dixon highlighted the crucial role played by judicial officials in Somalia and their contribution to fighting crime and terrorism.

The United States, through INL, has committed nearly $70 million over eight years to support Somalia’s justice, police, maritime security, and corrections sectors through training, equipment, and operational support, demonstrating a continued investment in Somalia’s judicial reforms and sustainable development.  

The attorney general offices in Jubaland, Puntland, and Galmudug will also each receive a vehicle in the near future as part of the support.
