Somali government officials, AMISOM commander visit Ceel Bur

GALMUDUG - A delegation from the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS),

the Galmudug Interim Administration and African Union Mission in Somalia
(AMISOM) today visited the recently liberated Ceel Bur district to assess the
needs of the local community and foster relations.

The delegation included the AMISOM Deputy Force Commander Maj. Gen.
Mohammedesha Zeyinu, the FGS Minister of Defense Abdukadir Sheikh Ali
Dini and Abdikarim Hussein Guled, the President of Galmudug regional
administration.
They also visited the communal livestock watering point, and inspected the
water supply point for the town.
Speaking during the visit, Maj. Gen. Mohammedesha said, Today we are
visiting Ceel Buur with government officials. The purpose of the visit is to
relate AMISOM forces with the people of Ceel Bur and understand the
problems of the people regarding humanitarian aid for example water, health
and food; and to assess the needs for more support to the people.
Maj. Gen. Mohammedesha also met with AMISOM troops from the Ethiopian
contingent and encouraged them to continue the fight against Al-shabaab in
the area.
Minister Abdukadir said encouraged the residents to participate in the
reconstruction of the region as the Federal Government support restoration of
security and social services.
We are saying the government will provide help and support, but unless the
population help and defend themselves, no one can help. We advise the
population, whether they are in or outside the country, to come and urgently
rebuild this town, not even an hour should be wasted, said Minister
Abdukadir.
Abdikarim Hussein Guled, the President of Galmudug regional Administration
noted that the return of residents of Ceel Bur who had earlier fled Al Shabaab
terror has been slow, and needs to be encouraged through provision of social
services, including access to education, health facilities and safe water.

I am appealing to the Somali government and the international community to

urgently bring emergency relief. Humanitarian organizations, AMISOM, the
Federal government and the regional administration will work jointly to provide
relief, set up administrations and encourage residents to return, said Guled.
Federal Members of Parliament Yusuf Gelle Ugas and Issa Weheliye who hail
from Ceel Bur pledged to mobilize people hailing from the area to play a role
in reconstruction; and lobby for support to build facilities such as a new police
station, and the hospital for health care services.
