A Seminar on the Somali Crisis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Geneva, 3-4 January 2007<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Urgent need for dialogue between Somalis<\/strong><\/p>\n

The direct engagement of Ethiopian forces in Somalia, with the backing of other foreign powers, has increased fears that the conflict would degenerate and exacerbate the suffering of the Somali people. The deteriorating situation in Somalia calls for an urgent action to bring together all protagonists from Somalia in order to engage in direct talks. Such a need has been reasserted by the international community, particularly the African Union, the Arab League as well as the UN in its resolutions 1724 and 1725.<\/p>\n

With the aim to facilitate such talks and after preliminary contacts with Somali factions, the “Centre for Conflict and Peace Studies” is organizing a two-day meeting in Geneva, on January 3-4, 2007, to address the current conflict in Somalia.<\/p>\n

The aim of the meeting is to allow Somali representatives to engage in direct talks and pave the way to further steps that will help Somalia out of its long lasting crisis. The “Centre for Conflict Resolution” will provide all the logistics for this meeting.<\/p>\n
