allAfrica.com: Somalia: 'Alliance' Divided Over Djibouti Peace Accord (Page 1 of 1)

allAfrica.com: Somalia: 'Alliance' Divided Over Djibouti Peace Accord (Page 1 of 1): "The Alliance is split between the wing currently in Djibouti, who favour talks despite the presence in Somalia of Ethiopian forces, and those in Asmara who insist the Ethiopians must leave before any dialogue takes place.

The latter group rejected the Djibouti agreement as a conspiracy orchestrated by the enemies of the Somali people. In a statement issued in Asamara on 10 June, the Asamara faction said: 'The Djibouti exercise has no validity and shall not be binding on the ARS and the Somali people.' It called on the Somali people 'to redouble their heroic struggle against the occupation.'"

The two groups called on donor governments, whose behind-the-scenes efforts to see the bill reformed appear to have failed, to speak out publicly against the de facto criminalization of most of the human rights, rule of law and peace-building work currently being carried out in Ethiopia.
