Somali peace talks resume in Nairobi

- Friday, January 09, 2004 at 20:37

 

Nairobi (AllPuntland) - After months of wrangling among Somali leaders, the Somali reconciliation and peace process resumes in Nairobi today as scheduled.

 

 

 

Signs of closure to months-long delays and uncertainty that had surrounded the Somali peace talks after the end of Phase II of the conference which produced a transitional constitutional charter for a federal republic of Somalia, 351 members of parliament which will appoint a President, who in turn will select a Prime Minister to form an all inclusive government for the war-torn nation, now seem to have been resolved.

 

 

 

Matters were not helped by reported constant Internal squabbling among IGAD member States and IPF some of whom were determined to derail the peace talks. An agreement however was reached yesterday after day-long consultations between IGAD and Somali leaders in that only original signatories of the Eldoret Cessation of Hostilities pact, A/Qassim Salat Hassan, the head of the mortuus Arte TNG, and 3 members, all women of the civil society organization which renders total participants to 25 will resume negotiations.

 

 

 

A 10-day retreat intended to weed out disagreements among Somali leaders to the coastal town of Mombasa will commence tomorrow.

 

 

 

Presidents of Kenya, the host nation, and Uganda, current chair of IGAD heads of State and Government spoke at today’s meeting calling upon Somali leaders to set their differences aside, restore the honour and dignity of the Somali State, and to exploit this golden opportunity.

 

 

 

President Museveni of Uganda seems to have succeeded in mediating warring Somali leaders. It is not clear whether faction leaders still holed up in Mogadishu will join the retreat summit in Mombasa even though their representatives were present at today’s summit. Muse Sudi Yalahow, Habsade, Barre Hiirale and Osman Ali Ato with very little constituency and political influence in Somalia are still being awaited to join the peace summit.

 

 

 

In an emotional speech, President Museveni reflected upon the destruction, collapse of the Somali State institutions, and ensuing massacres that had engulfed Somalia over the years.

 

 

 

President Kibaki who also made a speech stressed the importance and urgency of forming a national government for Somalia while delving into the unfortunate atrocities still taking place in parts of Somalia.

 

 

 

It finally appears judging from the initial reactions of IGAD heads of States, Somali leaders, IGAD’s Facilitation Committee, IPF, and other supporters of the Somali reconciliation and peace process that talks are on course although only time will tell as to how it shall all ends.

Is that Riyaale in the back? or maybe it is my eyes na'mean? The picture looks blurry on my comp.

 

Abdullahi Yusuf doesn't look happy in those pics. Or maybe that is his natural demeanor.

[Saxardiid]

the hopes are very high so we should pray to Allah some thing very concrate willl come out of it.

[Baashi]

@ Mobby - that is good one.

 

Although peace is no panacea for many challenges facing Somalia, its success is essential for the long-term stability. For that reason we ought to support it and wish them luck even though we know deep down that we don't have the right leadership.

 

Kheyr Allaha ka dhigo.

US wants normalized Somalia

DIPLOMATIC PUSH: The US, concerned about terrorism in the lawless African nation, is considering a diplomatic effort to restart stalled talks on resolving strife

 

The US is considering a major diplomatic initiative to help create a functional government in lawless Somalia, a senior US State Department official said Friday.

 

The aim would be to restore the war-ravaged country to some form of normality for its impoverished people and rein in terrorist elements, including some affiliated with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, the official said.

 

Should it proceed, the US push would see significant US financial, logistical and diplomatic assistance funneled into faltering Kenyan-mediated negotiations between Somalia's warring factions, the official said.

 

It could be modeled on US support for peace talks between Sudan's government and southern rebels, also being mediated by Kenya, that appear close to producing a settlement to end 20 years of civil war, the official said.

 

US President George W. Bush's administration, which has placed a high priority on the Sudan peace effort, is studying the feasibility of Washington's involvement in the Somalia talks, the official said.

 

A report on the possibilities is due to be completed within 60 days, the official said.
