Somalia’s foreign affairs minister Abdisalam Omar Hadliye has announced that IGAD summit will kick off in Mogadishu next week (10th September, 2016).
The minister said at a press conference in Nairobi the heads of states of Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan, and Ethiopia are expected to attend the planned IGAD meeting in Mogadishu.
The meeting will becomes the first of IGAD heads of states to be held in Mogadishu, Somali capital in more than two decades due to the conflict and lawlessness of the country.
In January, 2015, foreign ministers from seven countries in IGAD, have met in the Somali capital for the first time in early 25 years.
