Alamein Declaration Backs Somalia’s Counterterrorism Efforts and State Authority

The joint Alamein Declaration has voiced support for Somalia’s efforts to combat terrorism and enable state institutions to extend their authority across the country.

The declaration was issued following a four-way consultative summit involving Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Somalia.

Its position on Somalia brings together support for counterterrorism efforts and the strengthening of state institutions’ ability to exercise control over the country’s entire territory.

The brief announcement did not provide details of specific measures to support those goals or a timetable for putting them into effect.
