Somalia: Sudan to participate training Somali security forces

Sudan said Tuesday it will participate the training of the Somali security forces and help the Somali government.

The pledge came after Somalia’s president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed held talks on Monday with his Sudanese counterpart Omar Hassan Al-Bshir in Khartoum in a bid to get support from Sudan about the formation of the national army of Somalia.

The spokesman of the Sudanese president Mohamud Fadil told AFP that both presidents had a meeting in Khartoum and talked more about the formation of security forces for the Somali government and how the peace and the stability of Somalia would be restored.

The Sudanese foreign minister told the media after the meeting that the Sudanese government will help the Somali government and will take part the training of some of the Somali police forces and also the rebuilding of the economic infrastructure of Somalia.
