These elections in Jubbaland have taken place in secure

This is really representative of the community and this is what we

Earlier, President Madobe held a closed door meeting with Mr.

remaining Al Shabaab strongholds in the Lower and Middle Jubba

regions.
We discussed the next phase of the electoral process and military
operations along the Jubba corridor, President Madobe disclosed.
We talked with the AMISOM Force Commander Lt. Gen. Osman Noor
Soubagleh and agreed on the timelines when they should begin the
operations. Jubbaland forces and AMISOM are ready to start the
operations.
President Madobes pronouncement on the planned military
operations, comes a day after a meeting of AMISOM senior military
commanders in Mogadishu, where a counter terrorism strategy was
discussed.
The hard work on the security is still before us, both in terms of
fighting Al-Shabaab, but also strengthening Somali national security
forces so that Somalia can take full control over it is security, SRSG
Keating said.
