raadamiir Posted February 23, 2006 MPs set for Baidoa parliamentary meeting NAIROBI, 23 Feb 2006 (IRIN) - Preparations for the first meeting of the Somali transitional federal parliament inside the war-torn country are on schedule and members have started arriving for the session, one of the organisers said. The 26 February meeting is due to take place in Baidoa town, 240 km southwest of the capital, Mogadishu. "The plan to hold the session in Baidoa is on track. As of this moment everything, including the conference hall and accommodations, is in place," Isak Mohamed Nur, who is also the local MP, said. All militias have been moved out of the town and encamped in former military barracks, he added. "We have 400 specially selected men who will provide the security," Nur told IRIN on Thursday. The members of the interim parliament (MPs) have been arriving in Baidao over the past two weeks. Some 42 Mogadishu-based MPs arrived on Wednesday. "We expect another batch from Puntland today [Thursday]," Nur said. The last batch, he added, would arrive on Friday from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. "If all goes according to plan, most of the cabinet and government should be in Baidoa by Friday [24 February]," he said. Nur said President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Muhammad Gedi were expected in Baidoa on Saturday. The president would open the session the following day. The historical meeting was announced by the speaker of the parliament, Sharif Hassan Shaykh Aden, on 30 January in the presence of Yusuf, after days of consultations with Gedi in Nairobi. At a three-day meeting in Yemen in early January, Yusuf and Aden agreed to convene the first session of parliament inside Somalia within 30 days.

raadamiir Posted February 23, 2006 By Guled Mohamed BAIDOA, Somalia, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Lawmakers arrived in the Somali town of Baidoa on Thursday for the first meeting of the country's parliament on home soil, days after heavy clashes in the capital Mogadishu underscored the tough challenges ahead. About 50 of the 275 members of the legislature swept into Baidoa in a convoy of cars and pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machineguns and manned by militiamen, ahead of the assembly's historic Feb. 26 session in the south-central town. Rival factions in Somalia's interim administration, formed in the relative safety of neighbouring Kenya in late 2004, last month raised hopes of ending anarchy in the country when they agreed on a time and place for Sunday's meeting. But heavy fighting in Mogadishu -- described by residents as the worst in recent memory -- has once again highlighted the general lawlessness in the Horn of Africa country, which has been without a functioning government for the last 15 years. Residents said about 38 people died in clashes that began on Saturday between militia loyal to Mogadishu's Islamic courts and a newly formed coalition of nearly all the city's major warlords, dubbing itself the Mogadishu Anti-Terrorism Coalition. Many of the victims were civilians. It was not immediately clear what sparked the fighting. But a low-level conflict has been brewing between Islamist groups and some warlords in the new coalition who are known to sell counter-terrorism information to Western governments, including the United States. That has led to isolated assassinations, particularly against former military or police officers, in the last year. By Tuesday night, residents said relative calm had returned to the port city of one million. "Fighting has ceased. I don't know if it (the calm) will continue, but elders from both sides are meeting," said Abdullhi Sheikh Hassan, a member of the anti-terrorism coalition. Each side blamed the other for the hostilities. Sharia courts function unofficially in part of Mogadishu and are the only form of semi-organised justice for the city. Fighting among Somalia's myriad of clans has been common since warlords overthrew former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and took over the nation of about 10 million. The transitional government has proved fragile and fractious and has so far been unable to rein in the powerful warlords and their militias, and disagreed over where the government should initially be based inside Somalia. But its two main factions moved last month to end the rift that has paralysed Somalia, agreeing to the date and place of parliament's first meeting in the country. Baidoa was seen as neutral ground and a compromise solution. (Additional reporting by Mohamed Ali Bile in Mogadishu) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SOO MAAL Posted February 24, 2006 The important thing is that government and parliament start their work. Although Mogadishu renewed war is bad news for peace prospects in the near future, however Somalia’s transitional government, Somali people, and international were fully aware that Mogadishu is not a safe city to host the government, unfortunately Mogadishu is the most chaotic and lawless place in Somalia, Mogadishu never enjoyed a relative peace since the civil war began it was always a war zone. The new news is that so-called strong warlords like Qanyare and Suudi are loosing their areas of control, good situation if supposed courts are free from clan sentiment; otherwise the renewed war in Mogadishu is just new episode of the never ending darama clan- wars in Somalia.

QabiilDiid Posted February 24, 2006 Nomads, I think the picture of the building on Somali soil in which the Transitional Parliament is expected to hold its first full house session deserves consideration. It belongs to all the Somalis and hence is far more pleasantly aromatic than Doofaarlay.
