DJIBOUTI, Djibouti (HORN OBSERVER) – Finland’s Special Envoy on Peace Mediation in the Horn of Africa, Suldaan Said Ahmed, arrived in Djibouti on Sunday, engaging in discussions with Djiboutian leaders on enhancing bilateral ties.

Suldaan Said Ahmed met with Prime Minister Abdoulkader Kamil Mohamed and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, addressing the importance of collaboration between Finland and Djibouti in peace mediation.

“Finland and Djibouti are geographically small countries but have a lot to offer in peace mediation, which is more important today than ever in our world,” said  Suldaan Said Ahmed in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

The envoy also presented a letter from Finnish President Alexander Stubb to Djibouti’s President Ismail Omar Guelleh, though the contents were not disclosed.

Appointed by Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen on January 23, 2024,  Suldaan Said Ahmed’s mandate includes supporting peace processes in the conflict-prone Horn of Africa, a region currently facing political instability, armed conflicts, and severe drought—the worst in decades. 

Finland has a long history of bilateral cooperation in the region, striving to foster stability and development.
