| Somali warlords to meet... |
| 2002-06-13 |
| Ethiopia will soon organize a meeting for Somalia’s warlords and the leaders of the self-declared autonomous regions. According to the Ayaamaha newspaper in Mogadishu, the president of one of the self-proclaimed states, Hassan Muhammad Shatigadud, arrived on Monday in Ethiopia. The paper said that Addis Ababa would first try to mediate existing internal differences before hosting major talks for other Somali faction leaders. Ethiopia has established good ties with both the Somali warlords and the leaders of breakaway regions who reject the transitional government in Mogadishu. Ethiopia is playing at being a regional power with Somalia. Wonder if they're recovered enough from their little bout with Communism to bring it off? Kenya seems the more logical bet as king-maker. |
