The Somali Embassy in Washington, D.C., hired the services of the political lobbying firm BGR Group last month, just weeks after the Biden administration forgave the war-torn nation’s billion dollar plus debt.
“This $1.1 billion in debt relief is in addition to the $1.2 billion of development, economic, security, and humanitarian assistance the United States has provided to Somalia just this fiscal year. The United States continues to be a steadfast partner in support of the people of Somalia,” said the U.S. Embassy in Somalia on X.
