The nascent state consists of Gedo, Middle Juba and Lower Juba – all areas adjacent to the Kenya-Somalia border – and does not include Bay and Bakool regions.

The administration, launched last week, led by President Ahmed Mohamed Islam Madobe, enjoys the backing of the international community as a way of bringing lasting peace and stability to the wider Somalia.

The state is headquartered in Kismayu, where the Kenya Defence Forces are located under the African Union Mission (AMISOM).

Jubaland, 500 km south of Mogadishu, will operate as a self-governing entity

PRESIDENTIAL PALACE

The presidential palace in Kismayu which had been neglected since the overthrow of dictator Siad Barre’s regime in 1991 has however been renovated at a cost of more than US$ 1million.

The palace contains a meeting hall which President Madobe’s team currently uses for their activities. A new house for the Jubaland deputy President has also been built adjacent to the palace.

UN representative to Somalia Nicholas Key and Inter-Governmental Authority on Development Special Envoy Mohamed Affey were among dignitaries who attended the launch of the new administration at the Juba presidential palace.

The UN official further called for disarmament of all militias in Jubaland, their demobilisation and integration into the national army.

Mr Key said Mr Madobe’s government should assist in the fight against the Al-Shabaab militia for their eradication in the horn of Africa country.

Mr Affey said the international community wants the Federal Government of Somalia to hold free, fair and independent election in 2016.
