KISMAYO, Somalia, August 7, 2015 (Garowe Online)-Jubaland President Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Madobe) has returned from a visit to Gedo regional district of Dolow in southern Somalia on Friday, Garowe Online reports. 

Madobe and his delegation jetted back to the southern port city of Kismayo after a three-day stay in Gedo which is a home to rival politicians. 

Political and community leaders who had since been critical of his administration are said to have agreed to partake in the consolidation of Jubaland peace process and upcoming presidential elections. 

Jubaland Vice President Gen. Abdullahi Sheikh Ismael Fartag has brokered the deal between Madobe and Gedo heavyweights. 

Over the course of tête-à-tête, in attendance were Gedo Governor Mohamed Abdi Kilil, Ahlu Sunna’s Mohamed Yusuf Aw Libah and former MP and Southwest state vice presidential claimant Mohamud Sayid Adan. 

The end to political dispute comes on the heels of criteria set out for Jubaland presidency.
