Mogadishu (HOL) - Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud had phone conversations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and President of the Republic of Djibouti Ismail Omar Guelleh.
During the conversations, the presidents extended their congratulations to President Mohamud and the Somali people on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. They expressed their well wishes for progress and prosperity and reaffirmed their support for the government and the unity of the Somali people.
President Mohamud highlighted the government's efforts to strengthen relations with countries that stood by Somalia during challenging times.
Turkey, Qatar, and Djibouti, among other nations, support the federal government of Somalia in rebuilding the Somali army, which is set to assume security responsibilities from African Union troops next year.
On Wednesday, the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) handed over two more military bases, bringing to four the number of bases that the Somali security forces have so far taken over.
ATMIS is withdrawing 2,000 troops by the end of June in compliance with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 2628 and 2670, which require ATMIS to gradually transfer security responsibilities to the Somali security forces.
