Somali President Dr Hassan Sheikh Mohamud left for Algeria last night to attend the Arab summit which is set to kick off after a three-year halt.
In a brief statement, Villa Somalia said the head of the state will hold talks with leaders of the Arab league in Algeria during his stay.
´´President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has met with the Minister of Defense Yassin Ibrahim of Sudan. The President is on his way to Algeria to attend the Arab League Conference.´´Villa Somalia said.
The League, founded in 1945, represents 22 Arab nations across the Mideast and North Africa, though Syria has been suspended amid its long-running civil war.
While unified in the call for the Palestinians to have an independent state, the body has otherwise been largely fractious and unable to enforce its mandates.
