President Ali Abdullah Saleh received Friday a telephone call from his Somali counterpart Sheikh Sharif Ahmed Ahmed briefed Saleh on the latest developments in Somalia including the new government's efforts to restore peace and stability to the war-rocked Horan African state. In the conversation, Ahmed said that Somalia's new government is doing its utmost to rebuild the public institutions, appreciating Yemen's support for Somalia, saying its firm stance toward the rights of the Somali people deserve to be over-praised. The two leaders also dealt with the bilateral relationship and developments in the region. President Saleh reaffirmed Yemen's support for the new Somali government, saying stability and peace in Somalia is an essential factor for peace in the whole region. He called on the international community topped by the US, the European Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and the Arab League to support the Somali legitimate authority to rebuild the country and enable it to contribute to in the fight against piracy off its coast.
