Somali PM Khaire in Kismayo to restore relations with Jubaland state

Khaire was welcomed by Jubaland President Ahmed Mohamed Islam.

In the last few months, there was a strong strain between the federal government and Jubaland state.

During his visit in Kismayo, Somalia Prime Minister will meet with Jubaland officials, according to sources.

At this time, Khaire’s visit seems to be a gesture that the federal government is considering to restore relations between the two sides.

In September 2018, Jubaland hosted the last meeting between the leaders of the Somalia’s federal member states who suspended cooperation with the federal government at that time.
