President Abdirahman Irro Convenes Strategic Dialogue with National Political Party Leaders

His Excellency Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi (Irro), President of the Republic of Somaliland, today convened a high-level consultative meeting at the Presidential Palace with the Chairpersons of the three National Political Parties: WADDANI, KAAH, and KULMIYE.

This strategic engagement is part of the President’s ongoing efforts to deepen national consensus, safeguard political stability, and strengthen Somaliland’s democratic resilience during a period of critical national and regional significance.

The meeting provided a frank and constructive platform to discuss the evolving political landscape, the imperative of preserving national unity, and the shared responsibility to confront external threats to Somaliland’s sovereignty and constitutional order.

In his remarks, President Abdirahman Irro reaffirmed his government’s firm commitment to inclusive governance, principled dialogue, and institutional cooperation. He emphasized that the vitality of Somaliland’s democracy depends on sustained engagement among political stakeholders and collective stewardship of the national interest.

The President further underscored the importance of regular, structured consultations between the executive branch and the official opposition parties—not as a matter of convenience, but as a cornerstone of the Republic of Somaliland’s democratic ethos and a guarantor of its long-term stability and credibility.

The leaders of the three national parties commended the President’s leadership in fostering principled dialogue at this critical juncture. They affirmed their commitment to working collaboratively in safeguarding national cohesion, advancing electoral preparedness, and reinforcing the foundations of democratic governance. Moreover, the opposition parties expressed their willingness to support government initiatives aligned with the shared aspirations of peace, constitutional order, and sustainable national progress.

The meeting condemned the continued and unlawful interference by the Federal Government of Somalia in the eastern parts of the Sool region—a blatant attempt to destabilize Somaliland and undermine its territorial integrity. These actions were characterized as provocative, irresponsible, and a direct challenge to the peace and order preserved by Somaliland through decades of self-governance.

The Republic of Somaliland hereby reaffirms its sovereign right to defend its territory and institutions and calls on the international community to take a clear and principled stance against Somalia’s destabilizing conduct, which threatens not only Somaliland’s security but also the wider stability of the Horn of Africa.

The meeting concluded with a renewed sense of unity and shared determination to protect Somaliland’s constitutional order, democratic progress, and sovereign dignity—through dialogue, responsible leadership, and unwavering commitment to the nation’s founding principles.
