The president of the federal republic of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has presided over an emergency ministerial meeting to discuss on the country’s security following deadly Al shabaab attacks.
The chiefs of the police and National Intelligence and security agency (NISA) were in attendance at the meeting and briefed the cabinet on the security situation of the country, specially latest Al shabaab attacks in Mogadishu and Baidoa.
The closed door meeting was held on Sunday night at the heavily fortified presidential palace of Somalia (Villa Somalia) in Mogadishu, whereby the security chiefs unveiled new measures that will immediately alleviate the security.
During the special meeting, the leaders have agreed to step up the military operations aimed at driving Al shabaab militants out of their current strongholds in the south and central Somalia.
