Interesting and worth reading article about peace localization made by our respected Sister Fatima.

"The Women’s Peace Network is an exceptional one. They played a key role during the 2022 peace negotiations prior to the reconciliation in Baidoa:" Dini Xaaji Abdi, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change in Southwest State, saw how the grassroots women's movement is contributing to peace advocacy in Somalia.

15 Years of Change, How Dg Mustafa’s story exemplifies the long-term impact of investing in Somalia’s local governance. In 2016, Mustafa Abdullahi Hassan, then a recent graduate, made the deliberate choice to remain in Somalia and contribute to its reconstruction, despite the ongoing conflict. Selected for an internship with the UN Joint Programme on Local Governance (JPLG), Mustafa gained invaluable experience that set the foundation for his career in public service. By 2019, he had advanced to the position of Director General of the Ministry of Interior, Local Governments, and Reconciliation in Somalia’s South West State. Among his notable achievements, Mustafa successfully advocated for 50% female representation in the Diinsoor district council, a pioneering accomplishment in post-conflict Somalia. His professional trajectory illustrates the enduring impact of JPLG's efforts in strengthening governance and empowering the next generation of Somali leaders.

Yesterday, members of @HIPSINSTITUTE, led by Executive Director @SaneyMursal, were honored to attend the grand launch of @iradinstitute, an independent, non-profit think tank based in Baidoa. The ceremony, inaugurated by H.E. President @Laftagreen of the South West state of Somalia, was graced by the presence of senior FGS & SW state government officials, distinguished members of academia, civil society, and other notable figures. In his speech, our director commended @iradinstitute's leadership for pioneering the establishment of the first think tank in the South West state. He emphasized the critical role that such overdue think tanks play in educating the public on peacebuilding and statebuilding efforts. @Aynte @AnalystSomalia @afyare_elmi @AbdullahiNOsman @SomaliaPdrc @JV_Institute @grdsomalia

Chaos at the AAO Airport as Local Flights remain Stranded. Early in the morning, while en route to Baidoa, I came to surprising realization - all local flights have been brought to a standstill. The reason behind this unexpected disruption is the Ministry of Aviation's decision to impose an additional fee of 9 dollars on each passenger. Both the airline owners and the passengers vehemently refused to comply with this unjust charge. It's truly absurd! For passengers who are already financially strained, a sum of nine dollars is an exorbitant amount to bear, especially when they are simply trying to return to their respective hometowns. This situation cannot be allowed to persist, as it has left passengers stranded at the mercy of the airport's confines. The justification for implementing this fee remains shrouded in uncertainty. My 8:00 am flight remains in limbo, and rumors circulate that no local flights will depart from Mogadishu today. Aviation authorities must intervene soon to end this standstill.

Good initiative coming from Baidoa-Southwest state . Congrats and looking forward producing policy papers after every event. @NimoJirdeh @MoIFARSomalia @moi_swss @nasirarush

I congratulate to the newly elected Mayor and his deputy for Warsheikh district.
