Fardousa Mohamed Roble, the first lady of Somaliland, toured the Shalva National Center in Jerusalem — Israel's national center for the care and integration of people with disabilities — and said her ambition is to establish a similar center in Somaliland. The visit is part of the official delegation accompanying President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi during his historic trip to Israel.
The first lady of Somaliland, Fardousa Mohamed Roble, visited the Shalva National Center in Jerusalem on Tuesday, becoming the latest member of the official delegation to engage with Israeli institutions during the historic state visit by President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi.
According to Israeli media, Roble toured the center — which provides care, therapy, and social integration for people with disabilities — and stated that she aspires to replicate the model in Somaliland. 'My ambition is to establish such a center in our country,' she said.
The visit builds on a week of high-level diplomatic engagements since the president's arrival on Sunday. As The Zioneer reported, the trip included the opening of Somaliland's first-ever global embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a wreath-laying at Theodor Herzl's grave, and a meeting with President Isaac Herzog. The delegation's itinerary reflects deepening ties between Israel and the breakaway East African state.
