Debating and deliberating on a break through for the deadlock;

 

Members of the Parliament in Mogadishu have convened their regular session at

Sahafi Hotel, Mogadishu, on November 15th 2005, and resolve by majority vote for

the following:-

 

To engage in direct negotiations process with our counterparts in

Jowhar, with respect to the resolution of all differences between the

Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs).

 

To agree with them that negotiations take place inside the territory of

Somalia, and if needed outside the country if the two parities mutually agreed

upon.

 

To invite the international community (UN, EU, USA, LAS, IGAD, AU etc),

to serve an observing role if the two parities mutually agreed upon.

 

The technical aspects of the agenda concerned the direct negations,

including the venue, date of the negations, and its modalities will be

Call upon our brothers in Jowhar to embrace our initiative with honesty

and in good faith for the goodness of our people and our country.
