The weeklong conference which follows long running political battles in Galmudug also agreed to continue the reconciliation efforts to the lowest levels of the state to ensure acceptable consultative process towards stability and cohesion in the central Somalia state

“Formation of the regional government will be based on mutual discussion, confidence, and will belong to all as the government will be guided by regulations based on Sharia and the Constitution,” the meeting which brought together representatives from various clans in Galmudug added.

Galmudug is preparing for elections of a new president following the end of term for the current administration in July.

Galmudug has been plagued by political squabbling from within and with the Federal Government. An IGAD brokered unity government came to effect last December bringing incorporating Alhusuna Wal Jamaa which had been in control of Dhusamareb into government.

The process of integration of Alhusuna militias midwifed by Prime Minister Hassan Khaire has been ongoing but facing hurdles on terms of agreement.

The communique also noted the Federal Government will ‘organise and implement the formation an inclusive government’.
