Nairobi, July 17, 2004 (Arabic News) – The Government Commission for
Development IGAD recommended yesterday the Somali representatives in
the peace talks in Nairobi to form a government before the end of the
current month.
The ministers, representatives for IGAD's member states which
includes Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea, Sudan, Uganda and
Somalia demanded in a joint statement the representative to "
completely honor " their obligation to form an administration in
Somalia before the end of the current month July.
The ministers who announced they will be meeting in Nairobi on July
30 said that the Somalis " bear the first responsibility to reaching
their own peace agreement." Representatives for the Somali groups
signed by the end of January an agreement to form a new parliament
and a government and to elect a president.
Somalia -- which has lost its pivotal government since the collapse
of Muhammad Seyad Berri regime under the strikes of the united Somali
conference in January 1991 -- is living today under the control of
the rival war lords.
