Somalia’s foreign minister Mohamed Abdulahi Omaar said Sunday restoring security is the firs step that his government is planning. The minister said that the Somali government now wants to understand the international community.
Mr. Omaar attended the meeting of the International Contact Group (ICG) representing Somalia as a member.
A Communiqué issued in Brussels pledged to provide continued financial support to the Djibouti Process and to support key transitional institutions if the Somali government.
“Our first priority is to restore the peace and security and that can not be done with out strong Somali police forces so we asked the international community to support us,” said Somalia’s foreign minister Mohamed Abdulahi Omaar speaking to BBC Somali service.
Mohamed Abdulahi Omaar is the elder brother of the famous Somali journalist Rageh Omaar and he is in London now.
He indicated that he would be different from the previous Somali foreign ministers who used to wander outside the country and would come the capital.
The ICG particularly welcomed the relocation of the Government and Parliamentarians to Mogadishu and their commitment to continuing the Djibouti Peace Process.
The 36 cabinet ministers of Somalia had their first meeting in the capital Mogadishu on Saturday. They discussed about the security situation in the capital and Somali president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed said the cabinet would officially start their work in the capital.
