Delegates at the conference agreed to support ongoing
reconciliation efforts and
ensure that security is boosted and maintained in the Jubba
region. They agreed to
an operation to comb out the Al Shabab from the areas they still
control in the
region, this being implemented by the Jubba Interim
Administration, the Federal
Government and AMISOM.
Speaking during the conference, the President of the Somali
Federal Government
H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud pledged the commitment of the
government to
ensure that everything agreed upon is implemented.
Those regions will not be managed or led by anyone that you all
are not happy
with, if you are happy with the people who signed this document
then they will be
responsible according to your acceptance of them. And if you are
not happy then we
must endeavor to select people who you are satisfied with. The

for peace; we cannot achieve
anything without peace because it is the starting point for

The conference was also attended by the Ethiopian Foreign
Minister, also current
IGAD Chairperson Tedros Adhanom, who called for unity among all
Somalis if long
lasting peace is to be achieved.
We should keep Somalia above all interests. Thats the only way
that we will bring
unity and peace in Somalia; if we uphold Somalia above
everything. By helping your
government, you are helping yourself. And I assure you on behalf
of Ethiopia, as
chair of IGAD and on behalf of all the neighboring countries
that we will help you inany way possible basing on your own
priorities, basing on your own ownership to
help you succeed, he appealed.
Building on earlier talks held in Addis Ababa in August, there
was consensus to
ensure that all armed groups are integrated into the national
army and that the
Jubba Interim government is supported to provide social services
and support the
economic development of its people.
The Jubba Interim Administration was represented by its leader
Sheikh Ahmed
Mohamed who appealed for more support towards successful
implementation of
the agreement.
A follow up conference is to be held at the Kismayo Port.
