Somalia Appeals for Drought Response Assistance from Oman

Somalia has appealed to Oman for assistance with the ongoing drought.

Abdirahman Abdishakur, Somalia’s Special Envoy for Drought Response, delivered the appeal to the Sultan of the Sultanate of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tariq.

The Special Envoy for Drought Response is in Oman.

He delivered a written message from Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to the Oman Sultan on Wednesday, August 10.

H. Sayid Shihab bin Tariq Al Said, the Omani Deputy Prime Minister for Defense Affairs, received the written message from President Mohamed on behalf of Sultan Tariq.

Oman is one of Somalia’s most important trading partners. It imports tons of livestock from the East African nation.
