Somalia's South-Western State Panel Completes Draft Constitution

Somalia's South-Western State Panel Completes Draft Constitution

A Somali government-chartered committee charged with forming a three-region South-western State has completed the draft of an interim constitution, committee spokesperson Mohamed Hassan Fiqi said Tuesday (October 21st).
The committee will present the draft constitution to local traditional elders for approval this week, Somalia's Goobjoog News reported.
Elders from Bay, Bakol and Lower Shabelle, which make up South-western State, are in Baidoa for discussions and debate on the interim constitution.
The government has appointed Minister of Youth and Sports Khalid Omar Ali and Deputy Minister for National Security Ibrahim Yarow Issaq to assist in the regional state formation process.
The state formation committee has been at work since its appointment in July.
