    Security in Baidoa was beefed up as Lower House Speaker Sheikh Adan Mohamed Nur Madobe and members of the federal government officials arrived in Baidoa on Monday to coordinate the meeting.

    The South West Reconciliation meeting, which was spearheaded by the Speaker of the Parliament, Sheikh Adan Madobe, will discuss the turbulent political situation in Southwest State, especially the controversy surrounding the upcoming elections.
