Official: EU Will Help Rebuild Somalia
The European Union will help rebuild conflict-ravaged Somalia, but the cost is not clear, the EU's foreign policy chief said Saturday. Immediate priorities are getting a government in place and disarming armed groups so that Somalia can stabilize, said EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana after meeting Somalia's new President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. Yusuf was sworn in on Oct. 14 at a ceremony attended by 10 African leaders after a 275-member transitional parliament elected him in Nairobi, in neighboring Kenya, because of insecurity in Somalia.
