Somalia has restructured its polio eradication program to end the ongoing outbreak and protect vulnerable communities, per the World Health Organization's Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office.
The updated strategy includes enhanced surveillance and vaccination campaigns targeting children under five, with a focus on remote and conflict-affected areas where access remains limited.
Meanwhile, international attention is turning to the region’s political dynamics as Turkey's involvement in Somalia risks reigniting Al-Shabaab tensions, according to the Middle East Forum.
In diplomatic developments, the Somali Upper House Speaker attended Türkiye’s 103rd Republic Day celebration in Mogadishu, highlighting growing strategic ties between the two nations, as reported by Shabelle Media.
