Djibouti, Somali presidents discuss security, reconstruction

MOGADISHU (Mareeg.com)-According to Djibouti TV, Djiboutian president
Ismail Omar Guelleh has received the president of Somalia's
Transitional Federal Government, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmad on
Thursday, at the Presidential Palace to discuss ways and means of
enhancing the security and humanitarian situation in Somalia. Apart
from the Djibouti president, Prime Minister Dileita Mohamed Dileita
and the secretary general at the presidency, Ismail Tani, and
Djibouti's ambassador to Cairo Mousa Mohamed Ahmad also attended the
discussions.

The Somali president, who was accompanied by a large delegation
composed of, among others, his deputy prime minister and minister for
finance Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden and the charge d'affaires at the
Somali embassy in Djibouti Abdourhaman Mohamed Hirabe, told the press
that the discussions centred around the situation in Somalia, notably
ways and means of strengthening the country's security and Somalia's
reconstruction.President Shaykh Sharif Shaykh Ahmad said that during the discussions
with the Djibouti president, they both had the same views on the need
of pursuing inter-Somali peace efforts.

Questioned by our colleague Ramadhan Moussa about the sending of a
Djibouti force to support AMISOM [African Union Mission in Somalia],
the Somali president said the issue was raised during the meeting and
stressed that the situation is making positive progress. The president
added that peace in Somalia needs to be consolidated with the
participation of Somalia's neighbours.

The Somali president arrived in Djibouti yesterday from Ethiopia
where, on the sidelines of his meetings with the Ethiopian
authorities, he met the president of the semi-autonomous region of
Puntland, which is in the northeast of Somalia.

President Sharif concluded the interview by saying that the
differences between Somalia and Puntland are minuscule and that the
meeting with the Puntland president was the occasion to fix these
differences.

It is worth recalling that Somalia's Transitional Federal Government
signed a power sharing agreement on 16 March with a militia called
Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama'a [moderate Islamists].
