STORY

The Federal Government of Somalia has deployed care-taker administrators in

the newly liberated areas, as part of the efforts at their stabilization.

The teams being deployed comprise of police officers, judicial officers, public

affairs officers, national intelligence officers as well as prisons officials.

These have been deployed to towns recently liberated from the al Shabaab. A

recent joint operation by the Somali National Army and the African Union

Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) saw 10 towns liberated from the al Shabaab.

The latest deployment of the officials has been effected in the towns of Bulla

Burde and Jalalaqsi. These will be charged with organizing elections for the

District Commissioners and their deputies, who will then be charged with

running the respective towns.

The Bulla Burde Caretaker Mr. Ahmed Abdi said the team was well received by

the residents and is optimistic that they will work together to restore order in

the town.

We were very well welcomed; we got a sincere welcome from all of the people

of Bulla Burde. You could see the flags that were displayed outside, people

holding the flags to say welcome. My appreciation is to the SNA and AMISOM,

civil society, mothers, children and the former interim administrators who have

welcomed us to the town. So we thank them all,he says.

Mohamed Farah Karam, a resident of Bulla Burde said the deployment of the

administrators was long overdue and expressed hope that they would work

together for the good of the town.

The problems of Bulla Burde are diverse and we have been waiting for the new

administration that has been appointed by the government for a long time. We

welcome them, we will work with them. He hails from Bulla Burde, we strongly

support him and if there are any problems, we are ready to correct themtogether. We will support them in all ways,he notes.

The Somali Government says deployment of the administrators will be effected

in all the liberated towns and efforts will continue to ensure that they are more

stable.

The purpose of my visit here today is to deploy the administration of the twodistricts. We have deployed to Bulla Burde and in a beautiful way. My biggest

thanks to the people of Bulla Burde and the Interim Administration and alsoAMISOM, specifically the brothers of Hiill walaal (Brothers support) who have

given us a hand as well as the SNA who also took part in the process,says AliAbtidoon Xalane, the Director General Ministry of Interior.

AMISOM continues to pledge its support to the Somali government not only in

liberating territory but also in supporting efforts for the Somali people to lead

peaceful and productive lives.

The Federal Government of Somalia and the Ministry of Interior and Federalism

have taken timely steps to deploy caretaker administrations in newly recovered

areas, to take over governance from the Somali national Army and the AMISOM

as part of the stabilization efforts. Caretaking administrations have

deployed elsewhere and are implementing their tasks as applied, elaborated in

the strategy,says Prof. Abdi Mohamed Shuaib of the AMISOM Political affairsunit.

A total of 165 administrators have been trained through joint efforts of the

Federal Government of Somalia, AMISOM and the United Nations Assistance

Mission for Somalia.

Years spent under the control of the terrorist group deprived the towns of any

administrative structures and without any adherence to the rule of law.

End.
