The Somali officials participated in launching an Iftar programme at the Mogadishu University for 200 university students sponsored by Qatar Charity.

On this occasion, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Natural Disaster Management Mr. Hamza Said Hamza expressed his great pleasure at launching the project, praising Qatar Charity and the people in Qatar for their significant efforts in the service of the Somali people.

“Here, people are in dire need of such charitable projects and especially in these days, as the country is going through a drought and late rainy season”, Minister noted.

For his part, the Minister of State for Endowments and Religious Affairs, Abdul Hakim Hassan Ibrahim, thanked Qatar's government and people for standing by the Somali people at all times.

In Nigeria and Ghana
