KISMAYO, Somalia -- Jubaland administration in southern Somalia said, neighboring Kenya has stepped back from a controversial move to construct a security wall along border with Somalia, Garowe Online reports.
| Kenya will come to regret this, I think... |
Jubaland’s second Vice President, Abdulkadir Haji Mohamed (Lugadere) told VOA Somalia Service that Kenya relinquished its counter-terrorism strategy to bar off Al Shabaab threats through the implementation of ambitious wall project.
Kenya, which just last week began flattening down colonial border posts has not officially rescinded its decision. In weekly cabinet meeting, Somalia’s Federal Government expressed displeasure on the unilateral move.
On smuggling of sugar and charcoal sacks, Lugadere dismissed media reports as ‘propaganda’.
