| 2006-08-02 |
| I think we can now officially write off the Somali interim government. They're toast. |
 (SomaliNet) Somali's interim government based in the provincial town of Baidoa southwest of Somalia has asked on Tuesday to postpone the talks scheduled to happen in the Sudanese capital Khartoum tomorrow in a bid to solve the political crisis within the government — as ministers continue to abandon the cabinet. Prime Minister Ali Gedi who has held today a news conference in Biadoa said his government asked the Arab League to put off the peace talks in Khartoum to have chance to tackle the current political turmoil that over shadowed the government since last week. Mr. Gedi said he had talked the Arab League ambassador to Somalia Abdalla Mubarak about the issues of the meeting to submit the government's request to the organization expressing that the Somali's interim government is not ready to attend the talks right now. |
