The mayor of Mogadishu who is also the governor of Banadir region Mr Thabit Abdi Mohamed has last night met with Mogadishu religious scholars.
Mayor Thabit said that he discussed with the scholars on issues of reconciliation as there will soon be a reconciliation conference for the residents of Mogadishu.
“I discussed with the religious scholars in Banadir region and requested them to stand by us in maintaining and developing the region. The scholars can take a big share in the awareness of the ‘neighbourhood’ or ‘local eye’ program in order to prevent the evil of the anti-peace or terrorists who use wrong ideas,†said the mayor.
“We also discussed the issues of reconciliation, returning of properties and justice in which there is a high need for religious awareness. Finally, we invited them to the Banadir Peace and Development Conference which will be held in Mogadishu on January 7, 2018, and they accepted to join us and take their part,†Thabit added
The mayor has taken a number of initiatives to improve the situation of Mogadishu.
