A delegation from the Arab League reached Somalia capital, Mogadishu on Monday as part of playing the League’s role to mediate between the country’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and his Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed for the standing rift within the two men since October this year, RBC Radio reports.

The Arab League delegation came after the Council of the Ministers of the Arab Countries endorsed a call from Egypt to mediate between Somalia leaders as part of Arab League Member State.

Somalia’s Foreign Minister Dr Abdurahman Duale Beileh together with other government officials and Members of the Parliament received the Arab delegation at Mogadishu’s Aden Abdulle International Airport.

According to the foreign ministry officials, the delegation will hold different meetings with the President Mohamud and his Prime Minister Abdiweli in the coming days to discuss with them on the best possible solution for the standing “no confidence” motion which was tabled to the parliament last week against the Prime Minister and his cabinet.

The mediation efforts by the Arab League delegation comes amid the parliamentarians were planning to hold a voting session on Saturday December 6th for the standing motion in which many MPs were urging to be voted soon.

The MPs remain ti be divided into two groups, one endorsing the “no confidence” motion and the other opposing it.
