Became the first Somali woman to sign a peace agreement on behalf of the civil Society “Declaration on the Harmonization of Various Issues Proposed by the Somali Delegates at the Somali Consultative Meetings” (29th January 2004, State House, Nairobi, Kenya).
May-October 2000: Vice-Chair of the Chairing Committee of the Somalia Peace & Reconciliation Conference in Arte, Djibouti, & Chair of the Sixth Clan*. Several collateral responsibilities: Member of the 16 African Women’s Committee on Peace and Development (AWCPD) / Affiliated to AU-ECA, since it’s date of inception in ’98, Member of the Board in Africa Peace Forum (APF) and International Resource Group on Security and Small Arms in the Horn of Africa Region, Associate Member of the Femme Solidarite African (FAS).

* About the Sixth Clan: After a number of unsuccessful Peace and National Reconciliation Conferences for restoration of stability in Somalia, the first all inclusive and civil society-centered conference was called in May 1999 by IGAD at Arta, Djibouti.
Clan based allocations became the agreed mode of participation, where each of the 5 main clans in Somalia were acquainted as a stakeholders. But, due to patriarchal believe such arrangements gives no space to women which makes 52% of the total population. Then, we (women) registered our reservation and floated our proposal on the “Sixth Clan” for an independent women's participation and identity in the national conference. And, finally the women's concern was accommodated and from there we became equal participants in the conference decision-making process.
Impact: - Women's voice is heard and role in the conference appreciated - Space for women human rights in the national document - Affirmative action quota of 25 slots for women representation in the Federal Parliament.
