Authorities in Galmudug organized a warm welcoming ceremony for the new President of Somalia.
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud arrived in Dhusamareb, a town in Galmudug, earlier on Thursday, June 2.
In the evening, President Ahmed Karie Qoorqoor led other members of the regional government in hosting a welcoming ceremony in President Mohamud’s honor.
Members of Parliament (MPs) from the federal and regional parliaments attended the ceremony too.
Mohamud has embarked on a tour of the country to assess the worsening drought.
He’s also in the middle of a peace and reconciliation mission.
Earlier in the week, President Mohamud had been in Baidoa, the administrative capital of Southwest state for a series of meetings.
