Uhuru dispatches Matiang’i to meet Somalia presidentSomalia President Mohamed Farmajo (fourth right) after meeting with Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i (fourth left) and members of his delegation in Mogadishu, yesterday. This prompted Uhuru and Farmajo to speak on the phone last Thursday and announce that committees would be formed to discuss border security. The fighting last Monday prompted Uhuru to tell off Somalia, urging the nation to “cease and desist from unwarranted provocations at the main border”. This after the president had chaired a special session of the National Security Council (NSC) to “discuss the unwarranted attack on Kenya’s territorial integrity and sovereignty by Somalia”. The NSC also discussed a press release issued by Somalia on February 5, and accusations made by Somalia ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman in New York on February 27.
