Consultative conference to take place in Kismayu, Jubbaland insists

Interim Jubba Administration has said it will host the consultative conference next week in Kismayo to establish the roadmap for the 2016 elections despite earlier reports it would be held in Mogadishu.

The second vice president of IJA, Abdikadir Hajji Mohamed said that Jubbaland will host consultative national conference which will be attended by leaders of Somali government and federal states.

“The conference to discuss the country’s future will take place from 19th to 21st this month in the administrative capital of Jubbaland, Kismayo town” said Hajji.

He called upon people of Kismayo to work closely with the security forces as to maintain the security of Kismayo town.

“I urge my people, people of Kismayo to collaborate with the administration and the security agencies as flush out the elements creating insecurity in our land” he said.

This comes days after the Presidency announced the conference would be held in Mogadishu.

The same meeting which was scheduled to take place in Kismayu last week a day after the inauguration of Jubbaland leader Ahmed Mohamed Madoobe was postponed after reports of disagreements between the states with Puntland saying it was not aware of the meeting.
