MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) – The Arab League has welcomed the call of Somali President Mohamed Farmajo for a new round of consultative talks on Feb. 15 to help break the deadlock in the electoral process.
The league has urged Somali leaders to hold talks over their differences to prevent any parallel or partial elections that lack wide national consensus.
The pan-Arab body in a statement called on Somali political stakeholders to urgently resume the talks to reach a deal that ensures a national election will be held soon,
“The Arab League closely follows efforts of the political leaders in the government and leaders of federal member states for concluding an agreement on solving the problems that hinder preparations for the public elections,” it said.
The UN Security Council, the European Union, and the African Union have also called for dialogue to end the crisis.
