There is an established administration in Gedo which largely kept the state stable. The administration stood fast against Al Shabaab.
The administration always opposed warlord and one time Al Shabaab commander Ahmed Mohamed Islam(Madoobe) who controlled the port city of Kismayo with the help of Kenya Defense Forces(KDF) nearly 13 years.
We strongly condemn Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud for failing to support reconciliation efforts in Jubbaland.
We equally condemn Somalia Interior Minister Ahmed Moalin Fiqi for endorsing Ahmed Madoobe henchmen to destabilize Gedo.
We expressed our unreserved support for the current Gedo Governor Ahmed Bulle Gared. We also welcome the grassroots efforts to liberate all Jubbaland from Al Shabaab that Gared is leading.
We urge all civil society to support reconciliation and democratization in Jubbaland in order to achieve fair and transparent elections acceptable to citizens in the region.
Finally, we urge Gedo elders to take their traditional role to help prevent internal violence and political instability in the region.
