TRIPOLI — Abdisalam Abdi Ali, Somalia’s minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, attended a ceremony in Tripoli marking the reopening of the headquarters of the Community of Sahel-Saharan States, officials said.
The reopening event was inaugurated by Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, prime minister of Libya, who cut the ribbon to formally relaunch the organization’s operations after a period of inactivity.
