Islamists oppose UN talks
By Simon Tisdall
Aweys complains that the opposition delegation led by Sharif went to the Djibouti talks without fully consulting him and other members of the alliance. “They went there without consent,” he said. “If there is a fair and balanced mediation by the international community, we could accept that. But the UN is no good.”
A western diplomat said: “Clearly there are strains showing within the alliance, they are not all reading from the same page. That is further complicated by a range of other interests ... from the sub-clans to regional players.” But convening a first round of exploratory negotiations was nevertheless a considerable step forward. “They’ve done very well to get so far.”
