Rome, (SONNA) – On the Italy-Africa Summit in Rome, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud emphasised the necessity for world options to our interconnected challenges, highlighting the significance of migration, a phenomenon that has formed human historical past and is pushed by numerous components, together with battle, poverty, and local weather change.
“In Somalia, components like insecurity, restricted financial alternatives, and local weather change drive migration. I highlighted Africa’s vital contribution to Europe’s reconstruction and progress by means of migration, benefiting each continents through remittances, data switch, and diaspora funding. I addressed the intense issues over perilous migrant journeys throughout the Mediterranean, exacerbated by human traffickers.
I pressured the significance of respecting every nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity for efficient worldwide cooperation and progressive change. The Africa-Italy partnership can’t and won’t work beneath sure situations. It’s untenable if one African state decides to interrupt worldwide legal guidelines by making an attempt to annex the territory of one other, as Ethiopia has unsuccessfully tried to do in my nation. This unlawful motion will trigger tensions, battle, and regional instability if it’s not retracted. It will, in flip, exacerbate the migration, mobility, and safety challenges we’re right here to deal with collectively,” he added.
