Tubta Nabadda Episode 268

Tubta Nabaada "Path to Peace"

On today’s episode of #TubtaNabadda, we mark International Migrants Day commemorated on 18 December globally by reflecting on how migrants contribute to their communities. We interview Richard Danziger, Chief of Mission at the International Organization for Migration in Somalia. He talks to us about the importance of the day and how his organization is supporting Somalia in addressing migration challenges through the development of national policy frameworks. We also interview Dr Ubah Farah Ahmed, Director of the Family Health Department at Somalia’s Ministry of Health. She talks about her experience as a migrant and why she decided to return to Somalia after spending almost three decades of her life in Italy, where she trained as a pediatrician. She also discusses how she is currently contributing to neonatal health in Somalia through her work as part of the IOM’s flagship programme, Migration for Development in Africa (MIDA), which aims to attract Somali diaspora and help them share their expertise and skills back home. The programme is presented by Ali Gutale and Fathi Mohamed. You will have the opportunity to react to the show and share your thoughts by calling in to your favourite radio stations!
