HARGEISA — The Ministry of Resettlement and Humanitarian Affairs organized an official appreciation and farewell ceremony in honor of the former Mayor of the capital city, His Excellency Abdikarim Ahmed Mooge, expressing deep gratitude for his outstanding contributions and close partnership in supporting and protecting internally displaced persons (IDPs) and addressing their complex living challenges.
According to an official news update broadcast by the Ministry’s digital platform via its official Facebook account, the ceremony highlighted the leading and pivotal role played by the former local administration in cooperation with government bodies, particularly in executing strategic plans aimed at empowering displaced families and upgrading their social and legal status.
Official remarks delivered during the ceremony confirmed that these joint initiatives succeeded tangibly in securing legally owned residential lands for displaced families, marking a qualitative shift that provided them with pillars of psychological stability, guaranteed decent housing, and protected their children’s future from random displacement.
Executive leaders at the Ministry indicated that the high-level coordination between the capital’s municipal work and humanitarian agencies served as an exemplary model for managing complex communal files, successfully transforming theoretical obligations into real field gains that touched the lives of thousands of families affected by conflicts and climate conditions.
As indicated by the field monitoring and documentation data published on the Ministry’s official page within the same platform, supporting vulnerable and displaced populations transcends official positions; His Excellency Abdikarim Ahmed Mooge expressed his profound appreciation to the Ministry’s leadership, emphasizing that this care remains a sacred national and humanitarian duty demanding integrated efforts.
At the conclusion of the event, the Ministry of Resettlement and Humanitarian Affairs renewed its high praise for the tireless efforts and inspiring leadership that characterized the former mayor during his tenure, notably his visible impact on developing municipal services and directing developmental projects toward the most needy segments.
This honoring step comes at a time when the region witnesses growing humanitarian challenges due to IDP influxes, necessitating the consolidation of local governance and sustainable institutional cooperation to ensure the continuity of relief projects and their transformation into long-term developmental programs capable of absorbing economic shocks.
Community figures participating in the ceremony called for building upon the achievements realized during the past phase, urging the continuous provision of logistical and legislative facilitations that enable humanitarian organizations and government bodies to complete permanent integration plans and provide essential infrastructure.
This high humanitarian honor from the Ministry’s offices in Hargeisa embodies a distinguished administrative model that transcends traditional protocol frameworks, proving practically that the sustainability of humanitarian action is closely linked to the efficiency of harmony between local municipal authorities and central government plans. Addressing complex displacement issues through land ownership and providing safe havens represents the real shift required regionally and internationally from transient emergency relief to sustainable development and safeguarding human dignity. With escalating current challenges, Hargeisa’s experience in honoring its field leaders serves as a renewed call to all regional and global institutions to elevate values of solidarity and institutionalism, building flexible partnerships capable of sculpting a secure and stable future for coming generations.
