Somalia peace talks to wrap up with no progress MOGADISHU (AFP) - Talks aimed at ending 16 years of conflict in Somalia were due to wrap up Thursday, with diplomats saying the parley had made no progress after six weeks of marathon negotiations. As around 2,500 delegates and observers gathered for a closing ceremony in northern Mogadishu amid tight security, diplomats called for a new approach to solve Somalia's chronic anarchy. "We know this conference has gone nowhere. The problem is blind confidence in the TFG (transitional federal government)," a foreign diplomat told AFP, but Somali elders argued that at least such talks had been managed. "We all wanted to support it and we all did (that, but) it did not rise to the occasion, so we need a different approach now," said the the diplomat, who asked not to be named. Elders said the attendance level at the Somali National Congress was in itself a favourable first step towards pacifying the nation. "It was the first time such a large number of Somali delegates in favour of peace met, so for this simple reason this congress is a basis for our future unity," said clan elder Bile Mohamud Qabowsade. More than 1,000 delegates representing the country's myriad clans and sub-clans met in the insurgency-prone city to discuss power and wealth sharing, as well as other key issues. Security was tight in the seaside capital, with Ethiopian forces patrolling key intersections, AFP correspondents reported. "The meeting is closing but the reconciliation remains open, it does not mean we have solved everything but the results we obtained show the congress is a stepping stone for future peace," said Mohamud Haji Mohamed, another elder. The talks, aimed at ending the latest bout of violence in Mogadishu and paving the way for stability in a country dogged by 16 years of civil war, kicked off on July 15. The meeting was requested by the international community and sponsored by the transitional government of Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi, the target of the bloody insurgency. The government's main Islamist foes, who were defeated earlier this year with the help of neighbouring Ethiopia, boycotted the conference, as did a large part of Mogadishu's dominant ****** clan. Some elders scoffed at the talks, the latest peace endeavour in a country which has defied a dozen initiatives to end the bloodshed that has continued almost uninterrupted since the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohammed Siad Barre. "It started and elders met to drink coffee in a big hall but nobody seems able to explain what the real outcome is. I believe this congress was just a holiday break for elders from faraway regions," said Haji Adan Mohamed, a ****** elder. He and many others present and in the streets of Mogadishu pointed out that violence had escalated in the capital despite the peace talks. "Although we have discussed several issues, there are many more to tackle," said Amino Hasan Warsame, one of the few women who participated. "Mogadishu, which is hosting the congress, is in flames and we should find ways of bringing all the stakeholders together including the insurgents," she told AFP, stressing it was crucial to follow up on the conference. Observers have argued that any conference would have to be more inclusive and address the issue of the Ethiopian army's departure if it was to yield any breakthrough in uniting the fractious country. Islamist and other key opposition players will be holding their own meeting in the Eritrean capital Asmara on September 1, with a focus on demanding an end to Ethiopian occupation. The government has blamed elements from the Islamic Courts Union, a militia which briefly controlled large parts of Somalia in 2006 before being ousted earlier this year, for the daily attacks in Mogadishu. In recent months, insurgents have launched almost daily guerrilla-style attacks against government targets in the capital, killing dozens every week. Civilians have borne the brunt of the violence, which has seen government troops often accused of indiscriminate raids in response to insurgent attacks. Last week, a respected clan elder participating in the conference was killed by gunmen and three other delegates were wounded in grenade attacks against their hotels. Source

Saaxiibkeey Allamagan, I am not following you with that PL connection? PL man worked as a bedtime story reader for the late dictator? What does that have to do with this thread? Oh Gotcha. It's a critical piece of history that should not be omitted. I can't believe you felt for that comment. Did you also believed that Emperor's line "no doubt he was one of the greatesr Somali talents in this historic era" or Guevara's "great man" and JB's "Siad Barre inuu yahay ninka Somalia (not somaliland) ugu ragannimada badan"? Mine is meant to be a sheer doubletalk for crying out load. I just forget you were that guilable. Emperor: Heestaas dad bey meeli bugtaa is one of my faves. Ninbaan u shidaa oo ku dhow inuu toori ila soo aado mar dhow. It is beuatiful hees put together by hobalo asli ah. Barwaaqada & beeraha ninkii boor ku kiciya dee ha boxo maba loo baahnee. Maxay aheyd balanteenu On a seriouse Note, The link of the khutba clip of culimada Xeerka Qoyska u naf waayey didn't work for me. Do you have Sh. Kashk khutba of this matter? Akhada qalamahul axmar..... JB, Any sane man would sing just to prevent endless torture and capital punishment. Kids did at school to avoid $$ whopping.

Google Earth is xawayaan. Why can't it find Waladeyni. What the heck?

Timely reminder. Shukran Miss.

Is love a necessary ingredient for marriage? Yes. Marriage without love is like tea without sugar or flavour. Lily,Tea with no sugar & flavour is what we refer to as waarikoow in the neck of my hood. Gashaanti with waakiroo skills xaax iga dheh. Red Sea u soo dayday mid waarikoowga ku dheereesa. Ms. Dhuc, Real jaceyl for the right reason in the right time is good ingredient for marriage but not silly love like kadimeey kadim. As dadkeena say, guurku waa god gacan la gashaday, kolba dhowr wixii ka soo haada godka.

^Indeed. Style has no pain. Balse madax kakanaa kugu yaalo. Hadey saas tahay, sibirka barkin ka dhigo nooh.

lol@distance adeer shaykh & Uncle-El-President. Kashafa bahasha ka aayar igaarka Caadi ma tihid. Khalaf, Cafwan dee macalinka. I didn't want to personalize it but you're using the right argument and reasoning for the wrong situation. I don't believe Soomaali Galbeed is any different than Burco, Badhan, Boosaaso, Buurtinle, Banaadir, Baydhabo or Badhaadhe. They are all Somali cities regardless the historic clan and the struggle they go through is Somali one. Their daily struggle is bigger than just simple flag or clan name. Try to dig down and ask the hard questions that Somali Galbeed is faced with. I don’t believe in blaming Ethiopia for the failures and the occupation or diibta reer Somalia heeysta. Elaborate more on how Ethiopia is not responsible or blamed for the occupation of Somalida galbeedka & koonfurta?

^lol@rubish. Explain what is it that you're ready to refute. Leave the emotions at barkinta hoosteeda.

^Exempt all together or for lighter one. I bet Faarax with hunguri for ayeeyo is out there. Better stop here before Bad Cas boy i rifin. Seriously, you never know what those chemicals do to your body. Reer akhiraada soo shabehee. Dacas does no hidden harm that you don't see.

The priority of the people on the ground,the leaders and the people is to liberate their land from a gaalo occupier. To free the people from daily rapes, killings & looting. Righht now their energy,struggle and muruq is all in this fight. They do not have time to dwell on a simple matter as a name. When,Inshallah,God Willing those brave soldiers liberate their lands, then the people of that region can decide on a name change. You have no say in this anyway? Well said Faarax. Tell him. Khalaf has his own priorities. Deliver Shariica rule to Moqdisho in Meles tank and peace by gun barrel. Somali Galbeed is as Somali issue as you can get, not a clan issue. Neither TFG & Amxaaro nor their fans (read: Khalaf & Co) see as Somali issue.
