James Swan, a UN envoy, has hailed Somalia for staying on a transformative path in the face of massive setbacks.
The envoy goes ahead to say that the country is on the right track, as long as it implements key issues within the prescribed timeframe.
In 2020, the Horn of Africa nation expects to implement multiple political and socio-economic activities.
Its elections, which are to take place in December 2020, will be the culmination of all the good efforts the country has put in place politically, socially, and economically.
The one threat that looms large over the country is Al-Shabaab and the fight between FSG forces and troops loyal to a fugitive Jubaland minister hiding in Kenya, Abdirashid Janan.
In politics, the opposition has already merged to form one coalition. It promises to present one candidate to vie against President Farmaajo in the upcoming elections.
Furthermore, the country has cleared its World Bank arrears, which earns it more investor confidence and gives it an added advantage when seeking loans from international lenders.
