Mogadishu — In a major step towards national reconciliation, the Federal Government of Somalia and the Salvation Forum have agreed to resume peace talks on July 20, 2025, following a successful second round of dialogue held today in Mogadishu.
The meeting, described as constructive and cooperative, brought together the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, senior government officials, and members of the committee responsible for the negotiations. They engaged in meaningful discussions with representatives of the Salvation Forum, addressing key issues critical to the country’s political future.
