Arab League convenes to discuss Somali crisis

 

CAIRO, Dec 27 (KUNA) -- The Arab League (AL) Wednesday held an exceptional meeting at the permanent representatives level to discuss the situation in Somalia.

 

Secretary-General of the Arab League Amr Moussa previewed a detailed report of the latest developments in Somalia and Arab efforts to support conciliation and peace talks between the Somali interim government and the Union of Islamic Courts.

 

The meeting is expected to produce an Arab action plan to deal with the war in Somalia, in which Ethiopia is officially involved.

 

The plan then will be presented to the Arab leaders and to the AL delegation to Addis Ababa to attend a meeting called for by the African Union to discuss the Somali crisis.

 

Furthermore, the AL discussed a report that said a number of Arab countries began providing financial support through the 26-million-dollar Somalia Fund, established in accordance with the Algerian Summit's resolution.

 

The report added that the AL signed a USD 400,000 grant agreement with the World Health Organization to rehabilitate seven hospitals in several parts in Somalia.

 

The report also noted that Saudi Arabia allocated USD 10 million in food products to help flood victims in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Djibouti through the United Nations World Food Programme.

 

The AL meeting was called by Secretary-General Amr Moussa and was headed by Bahrain's Permanent Representative to the AL Ambassador Ibrahim Al-Zawawi. (end) mfm.hw.
