    Officials of various Ethiopian rebel movements have again met Somali warlord Hussein Aideed in Baidoa in recent days in an effort to settle the distribution of recently-received money between the groups, and to resolve religious and political differences, media sources in Somalia reported.

    The meeting involved Aideed, Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) chairman Galasa Dilbo; chairman of the United Oromo Peoples Liberation Front (UOPLF) Waqo Gutu; chairman of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) Mohamed Omar Osman; officials of the Western Somali Liberation Front; and Bushra Hussein, a senior official in Gutu's group, the 'Mogadishu Times'
