Jubbaland Administration has inked an agreement with Gedo politicians following two week-long negotiation with politicians of Sede clan that brokered the Federal government.

The reconciliation has been going on in the port city, Kismayo as to break the stalemate in the region following months of rift between the politicians and the government led by Ahmed Madobe.
