Somalia’s minister for post, telecom and technology after meeting with his counterpart in Djibouti said his Ministry is organizing in Mogadishu a conference for the telecom operators of Somalia, Djibouti Telecom/Government in late March to discuss collaboration in the Djibouti African Regional Express (DARE) project. The DARE undersea fiber optic cable is planned to run from Djibouti and Mombasa with planned branching units for Berbera, Bosasso, and Mogadishu.
Speaking after concluding a two-day visit to Djibouti, the minister said this meeting is in line with the discussions he had with his counterpart in Djibouti to bring together the Djibouti Telecom and Somali operators to move forward with the DARE project.
The minister added that the passage of the telecom law and the limited number of fiber optic cables in Somalia opened a window of opportunity for Somalia’s telecom industry to seek partnerships in the region.
H.E. Abdi ashir Hassan also noted that Somalia’s postal gateway through Djibouti is now operational for incoming mail for Somalia, while plans are under way to start outgoing mail in the next couple months.
The visit comes nearly six months after holding initial discussions with his Djiboutian counterpart, H.E. Abdi Youssouf Sougueh, in which the two ministries agreed to collaborate in the areas of telecommunications and postal services.
“I would like to thank the minister of communications of Republic of Djibouti for the warm welcome. We hope the Mogadishu conference will decide the future cooperation between the two ministries and telecom operators, including consortium partners for DARE,” concluded the Minister.

Wasiirka oo hadalkan sheegay ka dib markii uu soo gabagabeeyay socdaal 2 maalmood qaatay oo u ku tagay dalka Jabuuti ayaa sheegay inay shirkan ka wada shaqeynayaan Wasaaradda Isgaarsiinta ee dalka Jabuuti, ujeeddaduna tahay sidii looga arrinsan lahaa mashruuca DARE oo ah xarin internet oo isku xiraya Jabuuti iyo Mombasa, isagoo sii maraya Berbera, Boosaaso iyo Muqdisho.
Wasiirka ayaa intaasi ku daray in ansixintii sharciga isgaarsiinta iyo tirada xargaha internetka oo ku yar dalka, ay fursado iskaashi oo heer gobol ah u furayaan shirkadaha isgaarsiinta Soomaalida.
Mudane Eng Cabdi Cashuur Xasan wuxuu sidoo kale xusay in Boostada Soomaaliya ay billowday in warqadaha loo soo marsiiyo dalka Jabuuti, iyadoo labada bilood ee soo socotana la qorsheynayo in warqadaha baxaya ay sii maraan dalka Jabuuti.
Safarka wasiirka ayaa imanaya qiyaastii 6 bilood ka dib markii uu dhiggiisa Jabuuti, Mudane Abdi Youssouf Sougueh, la saxiixday heshiis ay labada wasaaradood isaga kaashanayaan arrimaha isgaarsiinta iyo boostada.
“Waxaan jecelahay inaan u mahadceliyo wasiirka isgaarsiinta Jabuuti oo si wanaagsan noo soo dhoweeyay. Waxaana rajeyneynaa in marka ay Muqdisho noogu yimaadaan dhammaadka bisha dambe in aan go’aan ka wada gaari doonno arrimaha aan isku soo afgaranay,” ayuu hadalkiisa ku soo gabagabeeyay.
