Hawiye opposition group rejects congress result
|
(SomaliNet) The opposition wing of the traditional elders in the Hawiye clan, the dominant clan in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia said on Wednesday that nothing has been successful in the reconciliation conference which is to due to be concluded on tomorrow.
The remarks by the Hawiye opposition leaders came when the reconciliation committee chairman Ali Mahdi Mohamed said that there were achievements in the congress. Mr. Mahdi who returned from Nairobi today said tomorrow will be the closure of the 45-day reconciliation conference. Mahdi said he had briefed the donor nations in Nairobi for the achievements in the dialogue. The elders accused the congress committee of misleading the public into disastrous way. "The aim of the so-called conference is to hold the country into conflict," said Salad Barwaqo, the Hawiye opposition wing adviser.
Mr. Barwaqo recommended that the conference should be held out of the country or a safer place in order the Somalis to reconcile. He argued that Somalis fought on politics but not on clan and these issues of politics can be overcome with by pulling together the disagreeing groups. Some of the delegates told Somalinet that the conclusion of the congress was hasty step.
