According to a statement released by Villa Somalia, President Farmajo is expected to attend an extra-ordinary IGAD summit in Addis Ababa that will focus on South Sudan crisis.

The president will join the leaders from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in the summit to seek a lasting solution for Africa’s youngest nation, South Sudan.

On the sidelines of the summit, president Farmajo is likely to hold separate meetings with the heads of IGAD member states in Addis Ababa.
