Somali clans choose chairmen for peace talks

    NAIROBI

    Most of the clan groups gathered in Djibouti for Somali peace talks have appointed group chairmen, and are preparing for the plenary session to be held on Saturday, a diplomatic source told IRIN. By Saturday, the Djibouti government will expect clan elders to have decided on numbers per clan delegation. Over 700 representatives are gathered in the pre-conference talks, said the source, including a strong delegation from Puntland. A traditional leader has been elected head of the Mujerten delegation, which represent Mujerten from all parts of Somalia, including Puntland.
