Dabrow Posted April 4, 2013 Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon on Wednesday began his regional tour by meeting with Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Guelleh in Djibouti. Shirdon briefed Guelleh on security and humanitarian conditions in Somalia, and thanked him for Djibouti's contributions to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the Djiboutian Information Agency reported. The "Strengthening Relationships Tour" is Shirdon's first trip abroad since President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud appointed him prime minister in October 2012. He is accompanied by Minister of Defence Abdihakim Haji Mohamud Fiqi, Minister of Interior National Security Abdikarim Hussein Guled, Deputy Commerce Minister Mohamed Ali Hagga and Ambassador to Djibouti Abdurrahman Abdi Hussein. Shirdon will visit Ethiopia, Uganda and Burundi, and possibly Kenya, the prime minister's office said in a statement. "Time has come to thank and congratulate AMISOM and Intergovernmental Authority on Development member states on their efforts to stabilise the county," Shirdon said at a news conference in Djibouti. "Because of their vital peace mission, Somalia is back on track and is ready to play an important role on regional development." "We want to improve our co-operation and discuss with our friends issues including: regional security, trade, improving human rights, greater partnership and development," he said.

Xaaji Xunjuf Posted April 5, 2013 He took some great steps forward especially with the militarization of the Somali defense forces and enhancing closer relations with neighboring countries well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carafaat Posted April 5, 2013 I have to admit I am quite impressed with the Prime-Minister Saacid. He is the most intelligent and most eloquent Prime-Minister we have seen so far. He is far more analytic and intelligent then previous PM's like Abdiwali and Farmaajo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacpher Posted April 5, 2013 lol@sense. You got that wrong sxb. I'm behind the government and I respect the office of the presidency. While I disagree with President Hassan on some issues, I think he is doing good given the circumstances the country is in. I like to think this President can pull it off. I'm not so sure about this Yes Man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xiinfaniin Posted April 5, 2013 Nice pictures of the PM and his delegate. Ethiopia is important , and is undergoing important transformation. Somalis are rising in stature in Ethiopian politics and that is a good thing. Good to see a Somali minister welcoming Somalia's PM. Somali cabinet members were part of the discussion with President Hassan earlier this year when he visited Ethiopia. xaaaji xunjuf and Carafaat, just like headless chickens, are running from one post to another in SOL, with transparent pretense of nationalism and all. Such are the nature of separatists when defeated. They shall compose nice songs for the PM if they indeed approve what he is doing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
