The head of state of Djibouti, Ismail Omar Gueleh, who arrived in Mogadishu, the Somali capital on Tuesday, has called on the international community to redouble its efforts in helping the Somali people while praising Kuwait, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE for their great assistance to the Somali people currently facing very difficulty humanitarian situation due to famine and drought.
President Guelleh is leading a high-powered delegation, including ministers, lawmakers and military officials, to assess the humanitarian, health and security situation in the war-devastated country.
He was received upon arrival at the Mogadishu airport by Somali president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, Parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden and Prime Minister Abdi Weli Mohamed Ali.
As soon as he arrived in Somalia, the Djibouti president visited IDP camps and hospitals in the capital.
Guelleh reasserted his people's commitment to the plight of Somalis, recalling that the two countries "share the same origin, culture, language and religion".
“We are always standing beside you and we share the difficulties with you, because Djiboutians and Somalis descended from the same origin,” the Djibouti president told the media.
Somali President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed for his part thanked his Djiboutian counterpart and his people for their tireless efforts to help Somalia get out of the long-existing hardships.
It should be recalled that for the years, Djibouti has hosted various peace and political talk between Somali factions.
Meanwhile, Turkish security officials are currently in Mogadishu preparing the arrival of Turkish Prime Minister Rajeb Dayib in few days.
Kuwait and Turkey are currently the biggest helpers of the draught-displaced people in the Somali capital.
