About Ogaal

Founded in Mogadishu in 2026 to lead Somalia through comprehensive change.

Xisbiga Ogaal is a party founded in Mogadishu in 2026 by scholars and community leaders who examined the problems facing Somalia closely, carried out in-depth research, and then prepared the roadmap for overcoming them.

Ogaal stands to lead Somalia through comprehensive change, so that the Somali people enjoy justice, security, livelihoods, economic growth, good governance and their rights as citizens.

Ogaal was founded so that the Somali people, and young people in particular, have a lawful platform through which to achieve their near- and long-term ambitions.
