Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali Police Commander Brigadier General Asad Osman Abdullahi held a meeting on Thursday in Mogadishu with European Union Ambassador to Somalia, Francesca Di Mauro, to discuss key security matters and reinforce bilateral cooperation.
The meeting focused on strengthening Somalia’s security institutions, with a particular focus on accelerating reforms to prepare the Darawiish forces for deployment in areas recently liberated from extremist control. The forces are expected to play a central role in stabilizing and securing these regions.
The European Union has long been a key partner in Somalia’s stabilization efforts, providing financial and technical support to the Somali Police Force and other security agencies. Thursday’s meeting reaffirmed both sides’ commitment to aligning ongoing collaborative efforts with the government’s strategic objectives to restore security and extend state authority nationwide.
