The Djibouti government on Tuesday proclaimed it is ready to help Somalia’s new government bring peace back to Somalia.
Tayib Dubad Roble, the Djibouti ambassador to Somalia, made the announcement Tuesday after meeting in Mogadishu with Mohammed Abdullahi Mohammed, the prime minister of Somalia, and some of the newly-sworn cabinet ministers.
The ambassador came to Mogadishu to reopen the country’s embassy after more than a decade.
The officials, whose countries share a border along the Gulf of Aden, discussed several issues including the bilateral relationship between the two nations and how Djibouti could help Somalia assure security and fight against militants.
“The Djibouti government is ready to help its brothers in the horn of Africa nation. We can’t forget Somalia, because it helped us get our independence three decades ago,” Roble said. He also warmly welcomed the formation of the new government and wished it success in the near future.
Reliable sources suggest that he met with the president of Somalia, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, to impart greetings from Isma’il Omar Gelle, the Djibouti president.
The current Somali government is the outcome of a reconciliation conference between the transitional federal government of Somalia and the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia that took place in Djibouti city in late 2008.
