Libya warns leaders opposed to Djibouti plan

Three Somali faction leaders, who visited Libya this week, were warned by Gadaffi that “our friendship will come to an end” if they did not agree to the formation of a national government, according to the Somali ‘Xog-Ogaal’ daily. Mogadishu faction leader Hussein Aideed, the self-declared Somaliland leader Mohamed Egal, and Puntland’s leader Abdullahi Yusuf returned to Somalia on Tuesday following a three-day visit to Libya. “We do not want a divided Somalia nor anyone bent on fragmenting it,” Gadaffi was quoted as saying.
