Based on the orders of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to relieve the difficult situation of the people of Somalia, General Sedky Sobhy, General Commander of Armed Forces and Minister of Defense, ordered the preparation of medical supplies and medicine to be transferred to Somalia. Following the overthrow of its regime in 1991, Somalia entered into a period of political and social uncertainty. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said conditions are now in place in Somalia for it to achieve necessary development, according to BBC Timeline. In 1960, Egypt became one of the first countries to recognize Somalia’s independence. Moreover, after Somalia’s independence, Egypt’s Al-Azhar sent envoys to enhance education in Somalia.
