Ahmed stated, “The Constitution, a cornerstone of governance, is undergoing what seems to be a transformation with 45 articles and 94 paragraphs changed, necessitating a broader consultation.” He emphasised the amendment process’s complexity and the need for it to reflect national unity and the people’s aspirations.
The former president’s remarks shed light on the apprehension among lawmakers and citizens regarding the amendments’ scope and speed, suggesting that without careful consideration, these changes could inadvertently foster division. Ahmed advocated for a consultative approach to ensure the amendments enhance unity and support Somalia’s ongoing efforts towards stable and democratic governance. His call underscores the importance of balancing change with continuity as Somalia aims for lasting peace and unity.
