| Somalia: Reconciliation Conference To Face Delay |
| 2007-06-13 |
| (SomaliNet) The chairman of the reconciliation conference in Somalia Ali Mahdi Mohamed Tuesday cast a doubt on the timing of the coming meeting which wass scheduled to take place on 14 June and face another delay. Speaking to the reporters in Mogadishu today, Mr. Mahdi said the national reconciliation meeting might be delayed for another few weeks because of technical problems. “I am afraid that the meeting would miss its deadline of 14 June which is now one day to go and what might bring the setback is for two main reasons; first gathering the envoys and second settling and arranging them,” said Mahdi adding that he is not worrying about the security side. If Mahdi’s remarks confirmed it would be the third time that the reconciliation conference got delayed. His comment came as the elders of the Hawiye clan which is dominant in Mogadishu indicated that they are not still being invited to the meeting and are unpleasant with the preparations of the assembly. |
