A Somalia regional administrator has said the wall being built between Kenya and Somalia will not end terror attacks.
Mr Hassan Abdi Ali, who is a district commissioner of Diff in Somalia told the Nation that the wall was unnecessary because terrorists might bring it down using heavy explosives.
In an interview on the Kenyan side of Diff, some six kilometres from Kenya/Somalia border on Friday, Mr Abdi said the wall would separate the border communities and hinder the war on terror.
He, however, called on the Kenyan government to take terrorism as a common enemy.
He said Kenya and Somalia should invest in a long lasting solution by working together towards bringing terrorism to an end.
“I urge the Kenyan government to work together with us in this fight because we are neighbours. We face the common enemy, ” he said.
Mr Ali said Kenya and Somalia should share important information and meet frequently to discuss security.
He urged the border counties to help Somalis by sharing resources including water points and pasture, thus enhancing unity and minimise terrorism.
He also urged the Kenyan government to allow free movement of Somalis so that they could get education.
