qori xabaalan Posted December 26, 2003 Dear beloved nomads, these are your future leaders at work to lead our country! Somalia negotiators engage in fist-cuffs By Samwel Kumba & Bernard Momanyi THERE was drama at a Five Star Hotel in Nairobi yesterday evening when two senior delegates to the on-going Somali Peace Talks engaged in a physical fight, posing a major security threat. The two had disagreed on the mode of conducting a closed-door meeting which was being held in one of the rooms at the hotel. The delegates who clashed were identified as the chairman of the Somali Patriotic Movement Ahmed Mahed Lohos and the chairman of the United Somali Congress who also heads Group Eight in the Somali Reconciliation and Resolution Conference Mr Mahed Qanyare Afrah. Mr Afrah sustained lip injuries when his opponent hit him with a rungu (club). Visitors checking in and out of the hotel and others who had been booked in watched in disbelief as the two delegates, both of them leaders of the on-going talks, came to blows. Efforts by their fellow delegates to separate the two proved futile as they ran up and down with rungus as the fight went on. There was confusion in the entire hotel as the delegates fought vigorously at the entrance into a room in which the closed-door talks were being held. It took the intervention of police officers from Central Police station who calm the situation by arresting the two. Attempts by the two to defy police arrest failed and were arrested and whisked them away. They were bundled into a taxi which sped off to Central Police Station. A police source confirmed to the Kenya Times that two other delegates were later picked up from the hotel.
