Talks aimed at admitting Somalia into the East African Community are at an advanced stage. The nine-day negotiations between the East African Community and the Federal Republic of Somalia brought together experts from seven EAC partner states and began in Nairobi on Tuesday.
If the negotiations go through, they will set ground for Somalia to become the latest member state of the East African Community, almost eleven years after Mogadishu first applied for membership.
