Baidoa | QOL | May 17, 2018 – Somalia’s regional states’ leaders concluded the second Inter State Cooperation Conference in Baidoa, with a call to Mogadishu to resolve its diplomatic row with the United Arab Emirates. A communique released after the three day conference accused President Farmaajo’s administration of taking sides, in the Gulf crisis at the expense on Somalia’s security and economy.
The leaders raised concern over “worsening relations” between Mogadishu and Abu Dhabi. Somalia had chosen a “neutral” stance following the 2017 Gulf Crisis and maintained diplomatic ties with Qatar. UAE has recently invited the regional states leaders and signed deals that the Federal Government has claimed it breached its foreign policy.
As the leaders met in Baidoa seeking President Farmaajo to mend fences with Abu Dhabi, the Somali President was on a state visit on Qatar, where the two countries inked two significant deals in health and infrastructure. The communique further asks Mogadishu to end political interference in the regional states. Security and the war on Al-Shabaab was also discussed with regional administrations seeking concerted efforts to dislodge the militant group.
