The interior and federal affairs minister of Somalia Abdirahman Mohamed Hussein Odawa who is in Hobyo town under Interim Galmudug administration has started holding talks with the traditional elders and civil society in the town.

The minister and his delegation have discussed with the politicians and traditional elders of the town on security and the upcoming formation of the local administration of the town, according to Goobjoog News correspondent, Ali Ayn.

Later today the minister is expected to hold talks with traders and some members of civil society.

Meanwhile President of Galmudug state who is also in Hubyo town is holding talks with traditional elders of Hobyo district on the formation of admin for the town.

This comes amid regular supremacy fights between the new Galmudug State and the moderate Islamist group Ahlusuna which has from the onset opposed the formation of Galmudug state.

This has led to clashes and loss of lives in the last year with Ahlusuna still in control of the state capital Dhusamareeb.
