Libya denies having parallel process

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, Libya has categorically denied claims by warlord Hussein Aideed that it would be organising a separate conference on Somalia on 6 April. “Libya supports efforts being made by Djibouti regarding Somalia” and there was no basis whatsoever for Aideed’s claim, the Somali newspaper ‘Xog Ogaal’ quoted a statement from the Libyan embassy in Djibouti as saying. Aideed has said he will take no part in Djibouti, but the position adopted by elders at a conference of his Hawiye clan - expected to be held in the coming week - will be much more telling for the Djibouti process, regional observers told IRIN.
