Preliminary talks on Somali’s impending elections began Saturday as leaders of this Horn of African nation met in Mogadishu to discuss an election, that has faced postponement.
Somali’s Prime Minister and leaders of the five semi-autonomous states, including mayor of Mogadishu have been discussing ways of easing tensions in the country.
Issues to be tabled for deliberations include the composition of the electoral commission and that of security.
It is still not clear what the duration of these preliminary discussions will be.
But sources have told AFP that finalization of the organization of the elections, including date for the vote, will be known on a yet to be announced second meeting date.
