Manuel Marques Pereira, the Chief of Mission at the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Somalia, has expressed concerns regarding potential aid cuts by the U.S. administration under President Donald Trump.
In an exclusive interview with a local media network, Pereira indicated that there could be discussions with the U.S. government to ensure that its investments in Somalia are aligned with its strategic objectives.
This situation highlights the importance of international aid and cooperation, especially in regions like Somalia that face significant challenges such as political instability, economic difficulties, and humanitarian crises.
The potential reduction in aid could have serious implications for the country’s development and stability.
It will be crucial for both the U.S. and international organizations to work together to find a balance that supports Somalia’s needs while also meeting the strategic interests of donor countries.
