The British Prime Minister David Cameron has hailed the London one-day international conference on Somalia as a "turning point" towards greater stability and prosperity. He said agreements had been reached on major issues, such as security, piracy, humanitarian assistance and Somalia's political process. Somalia's Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali said he'd like to see air strikes against the Islamist militant group al-Shabab, which recently joined forces with al-Qaeda.

"We welcome the targeted air strikes against al-Qaeda in Somalia, and reason being al-Qaeda in Somalia is not a Somali problem; it is a global problem, and it has to be addressed globally. So, therefore, we have to have a common strategy against this common enemy." Al-Shabab condemned the meeting.
