Mogadishu, Somalia – Mogadishu witnessed the conclusion of a pivotal five-day series of joint meetings hosted by the Independent Constitutional Review and Implementation Commission (ICRIC). Over the course of the sessions, ICRIC presented proposed amendments to Chapters 5 through 9 of Somalia’s constitution, accompanied by a detailed report outlining the rationale and anticipated impact of the changes.
Members of the oversight committee engaged deeply with the proposals, providing extensive feedback and recommendations. The discussions, described by participants as thorough and constructive, focused on ensuring that the revisions reflect the aspirations of all Somalis and promote inclusive governance across the country.
ICRIC announced that a comprehensive report capturing all inputs from the meetings will soon be released. Once the feedback has been carefully incorporated, the finalized chapters will be submitted to Parliament for debate and eventual adoption.
Observers say this marks a critical milestone in Somalia’s constitutional journey, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to building a stronger legal and governance framework while fostering broad participation from diverse stakeholders. The coming weeks are expected to shed further light on the finalized proposals and the next steps in the parliamentary process.
