Somali leaders vow to work together, end rifts

NAIROBI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Somalia's president, prime minister and parliamentary speaker appeared to put aside their differences on Monday and vowed to work together to end anarchy in the Horn of Africa country.

President Abdullahi Yusuf, Prime Minister Mohamed Ali Gedi and Speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden promised to promote reconciliation and unity among the country's 275 legislature for the benefit of the Somali people after a three-day meeting.

The three leaders urged feuding Somalis to "stop inter-clan wars and meaningless hostilities" in a joint statement released on Monday in Galkaayo, 735 km (456.7 miles) north of Mogadishu and obtained by Reuters in Nairobi.

"The President, Speaker of parliament and the Prime Minister will work closely together in the remaining interim period of the Transitional Federal Government in order to achieve confidence and unity among the national leaders."it said.

The trio also promised to ensure the successful opening of the Somali parliament in the town of Baidoa on Feb. 26.

The deal for parliament to meet in lawless Somalia has raised hopes among Somalis that the government can finally put a stop to the anarchy that has plagued the country since former strongman Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991.

"It's very positive, it shows that we are going in the right direction." said Mohamed Ali Nur, the coordinator of Somali affairs in Kenya. "It is really good to see that our top three leaders have reached an agreement."

The interim government was formed in late 2004 following protracted talks among rival Somali factions in Kenya.

It returned to Somalia last year and has been split into two factions, one based in Mogadishu and the other in the provincial town of Jowhar.

SOMALIA: Parliament will meet in Baidoa, confirms president

GALKAYO, 14 February (IRIN) - Somalia's top leaders have confirmed that the country's transitional parliament will hold its first joint meeting on Somali soil in the south-central town of Baidoa, 240 km southwest of the capital, Mogadishu, on 26 February.

Interim President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed told reporters on Monday that he had agreed with Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi and parliamentary speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden that the parliament would meet as planned.

The president held a three-day, closed-door meeting with he prime minister and the speaker in Galkayo town, in the self-declared semiautonomous region of Puntland. The speaker was accompanied by Public Affairs Minister Osman Ali Ato and Yemeni ambassador to Somalia Ahmed Omar, among others.

"I called this meeting after I realised we doubted each other after the [5 January, Aden] pact and the decision we reached in Nairobi [to allow parliament to convene at Baidoa]," President Yusuf said.

The pact, signed by the president and speaker in the Yemeni city of Aden, called on "the members of the parliament and government to put aside their fruitless squabbles and differences, urging them to unite, placing the supreme interest of the nation above other interests".

"Our other aim is to eradicate doubt before the first parliamentary session starts and sort out differences between us. We all agreed on common things, and this is a historic agreement," Yusuf added.

The three-day meeting in Yemen between agreed to convene the first session of parliament inside Somalia within 30 days.

On Monday, the speaker told reporters that the president, the prime minister and himself had agreed to work towards promoting better understanding between members of the parliament.

Gedi, in a brief address to reporters, said he backed the decision reached by the president and speaker and urged all other Somali leaders to support them in their course of restoring governance in Somalia.

In January, the speaker and the president first announced the Baidoa meeting in Nairobi. Gedi did not attend the announcement, as he had already left the Kenyan capital for Jowhar, the temporary base of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). Observers said he had been unhappy about the decision - an indication of continuing rifts within the TFG.

Ever since the TFG moved in June 2005 to Somalia from Kenya, it has remained divided over two key issues: the deployment of peacekeepers from neighbouring countries and the location of the seat of government.

Yusuf, Gedi and their supporters are based in Jowhar, 90 km north of Mogadishu, because they consider the capital unsafe. Other MPs, led by the speaker, are in Mogadishu.
