In press conference held today in Mogadishu members of Federal Parliament and politicians from Gedo region labeled the reconciliation conference organized by Jubbaland State president Ahmad Madobe in Kismayo as big joke.

A reconciliation conference to end years old political tension between Jubbaland state leadership and one of Somali tribe which mainly populate Gedo region  has been kicked off in Kismayo yesterday.

Federal MP Ali magan praised the reconciliation conference but accused Jubbland president for not bold enough to face the substance of the issue “ He[Jubbland President] does not want to meet and discuss  with politicians of the region, he five times missed appointment with us, in fact he is not serious about this reconciliation conference”

Since the formation of Jubbaland state, tribes and communities in region complained marginalization and lack of full participation in the politics of the state.
