DJIBOUTI (Halbeeg News) -Somali president, Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo will today attend the 38th Extraordinary Session of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
The delegation led by president Farmajo has arrived in Djibouti Saturday evening.
Djibouti Prime Minister Abdulkadir Kamil welcomed the President and his delegation at the airport.
The summit will discuss about the tensions between Somalia and Kenya.
This meeting came after Mogadishu wrote a protest letter against Kenya to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
Somalia sought the intervention of the chair of the IGAD Assembly of Heads of State Abdalla Hamdok, who is also the Prime Minister of Sudan, on frosty relations between the two nations.
“In response to the Federal Government of Somalia letter against Kenya, which was submitted to H E Abdalla Hamdok, PM of the Republic of Sudan and the Chair of the Igad Assembly of Heads of State and Government, the Igad will hold a summit in Djibouti on December 20 on this matter,” Somalia Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted late on Sunday.
The summit will also be focusing on the crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.
Founded in 1996, IGAD brings together the East African nations of Ethiopia, Sudan, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Uganda.
