Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government and the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia have completed a second round of talks in Djibouti.
In a joint communiqué, the parties said their meeting, which was chaired by the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Somalia, Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, led to an agreement to conduct field assessments and further consultations. Although they failed to sign a formal ceasefire, they agreed to meet again within two weeks to develop the modalities for an eventual cessation of hostilities. They also agreed to press ahead with the talks through their respective high-level and joint security committees.
