The Minister of defence of Somalia Abdiqadir Mohamed Nour held talks with senior Ethiopian officials aimed to strengthen security cooperation between the two countries. Intensifying the war on Al Shabaab and the regional security issues were the main agenda of their meeting.
Ethiopia is a troop-contributing nation to the AMISOM mission. At one point, it provided 4395 uniformed personnel before being forced to withdraw thousands of troops in mid-November when Ethiopian federal soldiers began fighting forces loyal to the TPLF from the northern region of Tigray.
According to officials the two sides discussed the AMISOM mission and strategies to defeat Al-Shabaab. Minister Abdiqadir Mohamed Nour thanked Ethiopia for being a security partner and commended Ethiopia’s role in the war against Al-Shabaab.
They also agreed on the importance of eliminating the remaining Alshabab fighters in some parts of the country and Ethiopia affirmed it would continue to assist in supporting Somalia in terms of security.
