Security Council backs Djibouti conference

The UN Security Council on Tuesday expressed its support for the Djibouti peace initiative on Somalia. A Council statement also called on members of the international community to provide both financial and political support for the Djibouti government’s endeavours. Diplomatic sources told IRIN on Monday that the UN had produced a report on ways in which donors could support the Somali peace conference in Arta, where the Djibouti government is hosting about 700 Somalis and negotiations are expected to continue for at least another month.
