Somalia’s Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre met the acting United States envoy in discussions focused on security cooperation between the two sides, according to Dawan Africa.
The meeting centred on coordination in counter-terrorism efforts and reviewed recent progress in operations targeting militant groups. Officials also discussed steps related to stabilisation in territories that have been reclaimed during the ongoing security campaign.
Security cooperation was a central theme of the talks, with attention on how Somalia and the United States can work together as Somali forces consolidate gains made in the field. The discussions highlighted the importance of maintaining pressure on militant networks while strengthening conditions for governance and civilian safety in areas brought back under state control.
Stabilisation of reclaimed areas was another key focus. The talks addressed the broader requirements that follow military operations, including measures intended to support normalcy and improve security for residents living in districts that have recently changed hands.
The engagement comes amid continued efforts by Somali authorities to extend government presence in recovered locations and to prevent militant groups from re-establishing influence. The meeting also reflected ongoing diplomatic contacts between Somalia and the United States on issues linked to security and counter-terrorism.
