Somali Prime Minister, Abdi Farah Shirdon,
said IGAD's Grand Stabilization plan will help the Somali government to
live up to "its responsibility in administration formation and in
securing the liberated regions".
Speaking to parliament on Saturday (April 20th) on progress in
security, development and foreign relations, and covering his first 100
days in office, the Prime Minister noted that the agreements signed with
Turkey and Norway could be classified as key accomplishments.
He promised a full report on Somalia's security strategy would be
forthcoming shortly. He said the government had now taken over the Grand
National Security and Stabilization Plan which had been drawn up by
Inter-Governmental Authority on Development countries. That would help
the government carry out its responsibility in administration formation
and in securing the liberated regions. The session was attended by 192
parliamentarians.
