In a televised address to the nation on Wednesday evening, the president expressed satisfaction following the vote by members of the two houses of the Federal Parliament, who earlier approved the completion of amendments to the Provisional Constitution.<\/p>\n
According to the leadership of the House of the People, lawmakers from both chambers passed the amendments by majority vote, marking a significant milestone in Somalia\u2019s state-building process. President Hassan Sheikh praised members of parliament for what he called a historic decision that finalizes the country\u2019s constitutional framework.<\/p>\n
He told the Somali public that the day would be remembered as a turning point in the country\u2019s political development, saying it marked the completion of the national constitution and the formal conclusion of Somalia\u2019s long transitional period. The president described the development as a long-awaited national achievement that moves the country away from provisional governance toward a fully established constitutional system based on a solid legal foundation.<\/p>\n
Hassan Sheikh noted that the Somali constitution has gone through a lengthy review and amendment process. He also placed the development in a broader historical context, stating that since independence in 1960 Somalia has experienced several constitutional and governance phases.<\/p>\n
According to the president, the significance of the vote goes beyond the approval of a constitutional document. He said it represents the moment when Somalia officially transitions from a provisional system to what he described as a complete constitutional order with full legal legitimacy.<\/p>\n
The episode underscores the continuing pressure on Somali institutions as the federal government and regional authorities seek to balance security operations with political stability and public confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
