Mogadishu (PP Information Desk) — Professor Mohamed Haji Mukhtar, who taught historical past at Savannah State College, criticised the Ministry of Training of the Federal Authorities of Somalia for usurping the position of the Somali Research Worldwide Affiliation to organise a Somali Research convention in Mogadishu tomorrow. “Talking on behalf of the students who signed the Somali Research Worldwide Affiliation letter, I denounce the Ministry of Training’s try to show the affiliation right into a political platform. The Ministry of Training has interfered in analysis issues that don’t have anything to do with politics,” Professor Mukhtar instructed Kalsan TV.
Earlier this week, Somali students who’re key members of the Somali Research Worldwide Affiliation publicly distanced themselves from the occasion. “We perceive that the Ministry of Training, Tradition, and Increased Training is closely concerned in organizing the proposed convention in Mogadishu from December 15 to December 18, 2024. The group’s nature is educational; due to this fact, whereas governments can assist it, they need to not set up the SSIA convention. Utilizing the SSIA model on this method damages the scholarly integrity of the group. We, thus, categorically state that this occasion has no affiliation with the Somali Research Worldwide Affiliation, its management, or its mission. The Ministry of Training, Tradition, and Increased Training has totally different and important capabilities which can be totally different from these of SSIA, an educational and non-partisan group. Subsequently, it mustn’t undermine the credibility and repute of SSIA which many students have devoted their careers and upheld its integrity for nearly half a century” reads the letter signed by the Somali students.
The Somali Research Worldwide Affiliation was based in 1978. It held its two conferences in Mogadishu in 1980 and 1989.
