Abdinasir Mohamed Guled

A delegation led by the president of Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmad, arrived in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

President Yusuf was in Egypt attending the African Union summit where he briefed on the country's situation.

Today, President Yusuf met members of the international community in Nairobi and discussed about Somalia and ways the international community could help in ongoing peace efforts.

He also met Kenyan officials and discussed the relationship between the two countries as well as ways to cooperate on security issues at the common border between the two countries.

President Yusuf and his delegation are expected to return to Somalia in the coming few days.

Islamist-led rebels have vowed to continue their guerrilla war against the TFG and its Ethiopian military backers, despite the recent peace accord signed in Djibouti.

The weak transitional government invited Ethiopian forces into the country to help it battle Islamic insurgents. Somalia has been torn apart by years of violence between the militias of rival clan warlords.
