The meeting between the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Mohamed Hussein Roble and United States Ambassador to Somalia, Larry Adre comes at a time when the Horn of Africa Nation is encountering a devastating drought that has claimed both the lives of people and livestock.

The new US Ambassador to Somalia Larry Adre had on Monday last week submitted his credentials to President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo who assured him of support in executing his duties.
