Range acquires interest in a strategic US asset. Highlights: • Range acquires a 25% interest in well known Texas oil and gas field, with drilling at project already underway, • Low entry cost - To fund drilling of Smith #1 Well (AUD$1m) and in the event of a discovery fund costs to production (AUD$350,000), • Significant infrastructure in place and timing to first sales will be approximately three months upon a discovery being made, with an estimated payback period of 8 – 10 months, Australian based oil and gas company Range Resources Limited (ASX:RRS, AIM: RRL) (“Range” or “the Company”) continues to enhance its international oil and gas portfolio, reaching agreement with U.S. based private oil and gas company Crest Resources Inc ("Crest") to acquire a 25% working interest in the North Chapman Ranch project located in Nueces County, Texas. The project area encompasses approximately 1,280 acres in one of the most prolific oil and gas producing trends in the State of Texas. Smith #1 Well – Currently Drilling Range will participate in the Smith #1 well, which has already commenced drilling and is expected to confirm an apparent discovery made by Crest and its partners earlier this year. The well is currently at 8,000 feet with a target depth of 14,000 feet. Range anticipates target depth being achieved in the next three weeks and will provide updates to the market as they are received. North Chapman Ranch Background North Chapman Ranch is situated within the prolific Frio producing trend just north of the Chapman Ranch in the Mobil David and Doughty Fields. The Mobil David field was discovered in 1965 when Mobil drilled the Chapman #1B and completed the well in the Laureles Sand (now the Howell Hight). Since then, an estimated 250 billion cubic feet of natural gas and more than 10 million barrels of oil have been produced from this field, primarily from the Anderson sandstone. Recently, several operators in the area have been successfully developing the deeper Howell Hight formation, with some wells exhibiting flow rates in the 6-9 million cubic feet per day range. The currently drilling Smith #1 well is programmed to test the Howell Hight formation in a location near that of the recently drilled Zdansky #1 well. Crest was unable to complete the Zdansky well due to hole problems. If successful, the Smith #1 well could trigger significant oil and gas production and development drilling with very attractive economics, at a time when exploration and development costs in the U.S. have dropped dramatically. In addition, the favorable operating and regulatory environment in Texas serves to mitigate perceived political risk associated with Range's other international exploration projects. Benefits for Range The cost for Range is AUD$1m which includes the cost of the current well. In the event of a discovery, costs to production will be approximately AUD$350,000. The low cost relates to the significant infrastructure (eg. pipelines) already in place. Timing to first sales will be approximately three months upon a discovery being made with an estimated payback period of 8 – 10 months. With winter approaching in the US, timing may be expedited with increased gas prices. Range can limit its exposure to the Smith #1 well or continue with its participation interest in an exploration area which is targeting a minimum of 80 BCF of gas (undiscovered gas in place).

^^^Indeed President faroole has the support of the people, others hide behind AMISOM and fake titles.

Sheik Ahmed’s government offers little security and governance, and itself depends on protection from an African peacekeeping force of Ugandans and Burundians. Sheik Ahmed only controls parts of Mogadishu and a few smaller centers. If the African Union and the UN, backed by US funding, could supply thousands of additional peacekeepers, perhaps the Sheik Ahmed administration could weaken al-Shabab’s hold. But more troops are not likely anytime soon. Without them, the United States. will achieve little in Somalia until it can help win popular support and legitimacy for Sheik Ahmed - a tall and improbable order.

Somalia: Puntland leaders attend Eid celebrations among thousands 20 Sep 20, 2009 - 1:47:16 PM Top leaders in Somalia’s Puntland State government attended Eid celebrations Sunday, marking the end of Islam’s holy month of Ramadan among thousands of civilians, Radio Garowe reports. Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed “Farole” and Vice President Gen. Abdisamad Ali Shire were present among top Puntland government officials at Mire Aware Stadium in Garowe, the capital of Puntland, including Cabinet ministers, lawmakers and senior security officials. Before Eid prayer, Sheikh Abdulkadir Nur Farah offered the opening speech and spoke at length about the religious significance of Ramadan and Eid celebrations. Sheikh Abdulkadir, who is one of Puntland’ most well-known Islamic scholars, told the crowd to pray to Allah (God) for forgiveness and prosperity. He spoke about the security situation, urging parents to “be aware” of their children’s whereabouts and actions. “The leaders of former pirates have approached us [scholars] and requested our assistance, because [Puntland] society has rejected them [former pirates],” Sheikh Abdulkadir said. He noted that the former pirates have been isolated by society and have complained that locals do not buy homes or cars from them, and parents do not allow their daughters to marry men associated with piracy. “But I am convinced that this group has repented,” said Sheikh Abdulkadir, adding that some of the former pirates now pray at mosques, “which did not happen before.” He called on the Puntland government to welcome the former pirates and to create job opportunities for them. President Farole spoke briefly about Eid celebrations and warned Muslims against “religious disputes,” which he said can lead to endless problems. He urged all Muslims to celebrate Eid “together to symbolize Islamic unity.” He praised the people of Puntland for keeping up the peace and urged the public to maintain order, saying: “No progress can come without peace.” Speaking about former pirates, President Farole said the Puntland government “accepts” the pirates who repented and quit criminal activities. “The Government will ensure that they [former pirates] are not involved in piracy before offering any job opportunities [to them],” Puntland’s leader said. Thousands of Muslims prayed at various locations in Garowe and the city was teeming with young children, toys and excitement. The State House in Garowe was opened to the public after Eid prayers, as people came to greet President Farole, Vice President Shire and members of the Puntland government. Source: Garowe Online

DIB U HESHIISIIN: Iskadaa in hogaanka Shariifku mideeyo dibna u heshiisiiyo kooxaha kala duwan ee isku haya siyaasada Soomaaliyee waxuu maamulkiisu horseed u noqday in xaafadihii waqooyiga Muqdisho eee nabada ahaa gaar ahaan xaafadihii ay deganaayeen dadka ay isku haybta yihiin laga qaxo qax aan hore loogu arag xaafadaas. Sidoo kale in ay dadkii hore uga qaxay ceelasha Biyaha iyo Lafoole sii labad jibaarmeen, iska daa inay Muqdisho dib ugu laabtaane. Sidoo kale is ka daa in maamul Shariifku ku sii fido gobaladda kala duwane ee dalkee waxaa abuurmay kalsoonidaro iyo cabsi gobolada qaar ku khasabtay inay isku dhiibaan Al-Shabaab , meesha gobaladii kalena ay ka qabsadeen mucaaradku sida sida Hiiraan, Bay iyo Bakool, Gedo, iyo Sh.Dhexe. Taas waxaa sii dheer khilaafka iyo kalsooni darada maamulka Shariifka iyo Puntland, arimahaas oo loo aanaynayo saaxiibada ku wareegsan shariifka, hadii khilaafkaasi sii socdona waxaa hubaal noqonaysa in Maamulka shariifku ku soo koobmi doono Villa Somalia oo qudha.

Farqiga maamulka Shariifka iyo maamulkii ka horeeyay: Maxkamadihii Muqdisho qodobada halbowlaha u ahaa la dagaalankoodii ku jihaysnaa TFG uu hogaanka u hayay Col. Cabdulaahi Yusuf waxay ahayd sidan: In uu dalka soo geliyay Amxaaro In dalka shisheeye ugu yeerayay isagoo ku andaconayay inay Al-Qaacida Joogto Soomaaliya Iyo inuu dalka keenay ciidamo shisheeye sida Ciidamada Afrikaanka ah Hadaba tan iyo intii uu Shariifku xilka qabtay maxaa iska badelay arimahaas kor ku xusan, maxayse tahay mowqifkiisa ku aadan sadexdaas arimood: Aadan Madoobe oo ah raìisul baarlamaanka iyo wasiiro badan oo ka mid ah dowlada shariifka ayaa ku dhawaaqay kana codsaday inay Itoobiya iyo dhamaan dalalka dariska ahi ku soo galaan gudaha Soomaaliya 24 Saacadood Gudahood, (meesha xiligii TFG ay baarlamaanka uu hormuudka u ahaa Shariif Xariif ay ugu codeeyeen cod aqlabiyad ah qaateena goàan ay ku codsanayaan in dalalka deriska ah oo ay ku jirto Itoobiya soo galaan Soomaaliya). Shariifka iyo Dowladiisu waxay kusoo celceliyaan in ay dalka joogto Al-Qaacida, sidaa awgeed taageero lala soo gaaro si ay ula dagaalanto, inagoo og in kolkii uu mucaaradka ahaa inkiri jiray arintaas iyada ah Mowqifka dowlada Shariifku waa in Ciidamada Afrikaanka ah ay dalka sii joogaan.

DOORASHADII KADIB: Waxaa dad badan oo indha indheeya siyaasada Soomaliya iyo intii taageersanayd Shariifkaba lafilanwaa iyo fajaciso ku noqotay kolkii uu shariifku talaabadii ugu horaysay oo uu qaaado noqotay inuu tago Itoobiya isagoo qoslaya oo la fadhiya Zanaawina lagu soo sawiray saxaafada Caalamka. Isla kulankaas ayaa Zanawi wuxuu shaaca ka qaaday inay saaxiib yihiin Shariifka, kolkay saaxiibeen iyo xiriirka labada masùul inta uu qoto leègyahay intaba Eebe un baa garan karan. Balse waxaa hubaal ah in safarkaas, qosolkii iyo dhoolo cadaytii iyo saaxiibtinimda laba oday intuba inay dhawac sumcadeed iyo siyaasadeedba u gaysatay Shariifka, sawir iyo sife aan hore shacabku u ogayna ka soo ifbaxday Sheekh Shariif.

SHIRKII JABUUTI IYO DOORASHADII SHARIIFKA: Doorashadan siday ku dhacday iyo siduu Shariifku uga soo baxsaday Asmara waxaan filayaa inaysan sheeko badan inooga baaahnayn, balse waxaa xusid mudan sadex qodob oo kala ah: Soomaalidu waxay tiraahda ushaada nimaad ka qaadan karto ayaa loo dhiibtaa, sidaa awgeed Hassan Daahir oo islahaa hogaanka mucaaradka u sii dhiibo Shariifka dabadeedna hadhow ka fara moriiji ayaa Shariifku farasyoonka uga booday Xassan Daahir, shariifkuna isagoo magacii hogaanka mucaadarka isticmaalayna ayuu iska xaadirshay madasha shirka Jabuuti (hadimada jabuuti ee ku aadan Soomaaliya, cida shariifka soo xarigelisay iyo dadka lagu heshiisiinayay jabuuti waa arimo aan maqaalkaan lagu soo koobi Karin balse qofkastoo indheergarad ahi uu beerka ka ogsoon yahay) Nuur Cadde oo aha aaladii lagu burburshay TFG, haystayna balan qaad ah inuu noqon doono Madaxweynaha Mustaqbalka , ilaa 3 Malyan oo doolarkan kaga baxday doorashada ayaa heshiis hoosaad la galan Shariiifka kaas oo ahaa in uusan shariifku is sharixin labada sanno ee ka dhiman maamulkii TFG-na loo daayo Nuur Cadde , Shariifku wuu ku wacad furay isaga ayana is sharaxay Kadib markii Shariifka la siiyay 50% unuu xubnaha Baarlamaanka gacantiisa ku soo qorto ayay soo shaac baxday ulajeedaha laga lahaa shariifka iyo sida loogu salaxay ama loogu fududeeyay qabashada jagada Madaxweynenimo. (qofkasta wuu dareemi karaa in xataa habar iisho dhalin kartay rigoorahaas loo salaxay goolka aan boortiyeeriga lahayn, difoosayaasha badana u sacaba tumayeen)

Hadaba taas micnaheedu maaha in aan indho laàan ku raacno hogaamiye kasta balse waxaa lagama maarmaan ah in loo nasteexeeyo oo looga digo hadimo kasta oo isaga iyo inta uu hormuudka u yahay u horseedi kara ku dhicis hogg aan laga soo kaban. (kasoo qaad inaad safar ku jirto bas aad saaran tahay, darawalkii hurdooday ama si aan ula kac ahayd wadadii uga baxay idinkoo buur aad u dheer ka soo dagaya, ma aamusi lahayd mise waad qaylin lahayd adigoo u digaya darawalka adigoo hadafkagu yahay inaad badbaadisho dhamaan rakaabta kaaran gaadhiga). Sidoo kale maaha hadii qof uu hanaanka maamul iyo maarayn ee hogaamiye wax ka sheego inuu wax ka sheegay shakhsiyada Hoyaamiyaha ama Qoyska uu asal ahaan ka soo jeedo oo u dhashay. Balse Shariif kaaba qabiil maahee waa madaxweyne Soomaaliyeed. Anoo hadaba tibaaxaya aaraartaas aan kor ku xusan ayaan rabaa inaan wax ka taabto dhowr arimood oo ku aadan hanaanka uu wax u wado Mudane Sh.Shariif iyo cawaaqibta laga dhaxli karo hadii uusan wax ka badalin wadiiqada uu ku socdo, turxaan bixina ku samayn siyaasadihiisa iyo saaxiibadiisaba, noqona nin aan talada shacabka iyo indheergaradka tixgelin. ARAGTIDII SHACABKA EE KU AADANAYD SH.SHARIIF: Shacab Soomaliyeed oo badan ayaa kolkii Maxkamadaha Muqdisho soo ifbaxeen arkeena hogaamiye dhalinyar oo hadal macaan ayna ka muuqado naxariis iyo dibicsanaan ayaa waxay is tuseen inuu Sh.Shariif noqon karo halyay badbaadin kara Soomaaliya, midayn karan Shacabka isnacay oo isbaaradu kala dhextaan, nabad iyo midnimana u horseedi kara Soomaaliya. Aragtidaas waxay ahayd mid ay dadbadani qabeen waase intii uusan qaban jagada Madaxweynenimo. Dib ugu laaban maayo sida uu jagadda madaxweynenimo ku qabtay cida maalgelisay iyo ulajeedooyinka laga lahaa, balse waxaan hoos ku falanqayn doonaa oo qudha in riyadii shacabka ee ku aadanayd Shariifka rumowday iyo inay shacabku laf toobin ku hayeen. SHARIIFKA IYO SIDUU UGA BAXSADAY WEERARADII XABASHIDA: Shariifka wuxuu ka mid ahaa dufcadihii ugu horeeyay ee ka baxsaday saaxada dagaalka u dhexeeyay Maxkamadihii Muqdisho iyo TFG iyo Itoobiya. Waxaa lagu qabtay xuduuda Kenya iyo Soomaaliya dabadeedna warkii xigay wuxuu ahaa isagoo kulan qarsoodi ah balse ay saxaafada Soomaalidu soo bandhigtay la yeeshay Safiirka iyo Saraakiil kale ee Maraykan ah, talaabadaas tii xigtay waxay ahayd isagoo Hotel 5 Star ah ka jiifa Nairobi. Meesha saaxiibadisii kale ay ukala qaybsameen mid dagaalka lagu dilo, kumo Kenyaatigu u gudbiyan Xabsiyada kaaraamarka ee Itoobiya iyo qaar ku dhintay weerarkii diyaaradaha Maraykanka, meesha in kaloo badana ay duurjoog u noqdeen iyagoo wacad ku maray inay Itoobiyaanka dalka ka soori doonaan.

After a U.S. Air Strike, Somali Peacekeepers Pay. One could argue that the U.S. was playing a dangerous game when it killed a suspected top al-Qaeda leader in a brazen daytime helicopter raid in Somalia earlier this week. While the Americans swoop in and carry out targeted strikes such as this, the African Union peacekeeping mission to the country (called the African Union Mission in Somalia, or AMISOM) remains stymied on the ground, undermanned and vulnerable, its troops bearing an unenviable and almost impossible task. In a country that has been in chaos for nearly 20 years, what peace can 5,000 Burundian and Ugandan soldiers possibly keep? The Shabab, the hard-line Islamic militia that controls much of the capital, Mogadishu, and southern Somalia, promised swift revenge for the killing of Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who was wanted in the 2002 bombing of an Israeli-run hotel in Mombasa, Kenya. That retaliation came Thursday, Sept. 17 — and the AMISOM force was the target. Suicide bombers in two stolen U.N. trucks packed with explosives drove into the AMISOM compound in Mogadishu and blew themselves up. Seventeen soldiers, including the Ugandan deputy force commander, were killed. Four civilians also died. (Read "Somalia's Crisis: Not Piracy, but Its People's Plight.") "We have [gotten] our revenge for our brother Nabhan," Shabab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage said afterward, according to Reuters. "We knew the infidel government and A.U. troops planned to attack us after the holy month. This is a message to them." A message indeed. The attack was the deadliest against the peacekeepers since their operation in Somalia began two years ago. It follows a similar attack on Feb. 22 in which a suicide bomber posing as a contractor blew himself up at the same AMISOM base in Mogadishu, killing 11. The Somali government says the insurgents have also stolen at least eight U.N. vehicles in recent months. Six remain missing. (See TIME's photo essay "Dramatic Pirate-Hostage Rescues.") Coming so quickly on the heels of Nabhan's death, Thursday?s bombing raises the question of whether American intervention in Somalia is undermining the Somali President's ability to woo the moderate Islamists whose support he'll need to restore peace in Somalia. The U.S. does not seem ready to abandon the country anytime soon. During her seven-nation tour of Africa in August, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Somali President Sheik Sharif Ahmed — a symbolically potent occasion, given that he had once opposed the U.S.-backed Ethiopian troops that invaded Somalia in 2006 to try to defeat the Islamists. The Americans will most likely continue to launch targeted strikes against suspected al-Qaeda militants and keep sending weapons to Ahmed's transitional government, as the U.S. State Department confirmed it did in June. "In retaliation, the insurgents will rain hellfire down on any representative of the international community [in Somalia], whether it is peacekeepers or humanitarian-aid organizations," says John Prendergast, a Horn of Africa expert and head of the Washington-based Enough! Project, which works to end genocide. "The U.S. got their high-value target, but the price to Somalia and to those trying to stabilize it will be very high. It is a cost-benefit analysis that defies easy assessment." Meanwhile, the AMISOM peacekeepers will struggle on the ground, continuing to wait for the hardware and financial support they were promised. Soon after Thursday's attack, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack "in the strongest terms," and the U.N. Security Council did the same, reaffirming its support for AMISOM. But even if the peacekeepers sitting in Mogadishu ever get word of that support, they probably won't think too highly of it. According to its mission statement, AMISOM is supposed to be preparing the way for the introduction of a U.N. peacekeeping force into the country. At the moment, AMISOM is not in position to do any such thing. The AMISOM force is supposed to have 8,000 troops, but other African nations that pledged to send soldiers have so far not done so. It is a telling sign that the links on the AMISOM website for "activities" and "peace process" both lead nowhere. AMISOM officials have adopted a fatalistic tone but insist they will remain in Somalia. As ineffective as the AMISOM force is, however, Somalia?s weak transitional government isn?t doing much better. The President is holed up in a villa in the capital, and the army has so far been incapable of mounting a serious offensive against the Shabab. The best thing to be said about the government is that it still exists. "A lot of [somalis] are against the Shabab, but it doesn't seem the government is taking advantage of this by reaching out to clan elders and trying to drain the support from under their feet," Nurudin Dirie, a Somalia analyst and onetime candidate for President of the breakaway Somali region of Puntland, tells TIME. "I'm expecting this government not to make things worse," he says. "I'm not under the illusion that this government, or the one after that, or even the one after that, will bring stability to Somalia." Source: time.com

Si aan looga carqaladeyn qorshayaashiisa wejiyada badan oo uu ugu horreyo kan Djibouti loogu rarayo barnaamijka la dagaallanka burcad badeedka, wuxuu Shariif Xasan ku howllanyahay in laga dhigo waxba kama jiraan heshiiski ay Xukuumaddu la gashey Puntland, taas oo horseedi karta bur bur ku yimaada midnimada TFGda xilligan iyo kala fogaansho dhex mara TFG iyo gobollo muhim u ah midniada Qaranka. Waxayse su’aasho tahay dan iyo heello ma ka leeyahay Shariif Xasan midnimo qaran iyo dano guud toona. Arrimaha aan soo sheegney oo dhami waxay tusaale cad ka bixinayaan taariikhda wax dumineed iyo daneystennimo ee uu Shariif sakiin ku caan baxay iyo sida uu u duminaayey siyaasad kastoo uu ka dhex arki waayo danihiisa gaar ahaaneed iyo lacag urursigiisa aan xuduudka lahayn. Waxaan, haddaba, uga digeynaa Madaxweyne Sheekh Shariif Shiikh Axmed in uu ka feejignaado hagardaamada uu wado Shariif Xasan Sh Aaden, oo haddii uusan Madaxweynuhu wax ka qaban u keeni doonta sharaf dhac shakhsiyaddisa ah iyo bur bur ku yimaada Dawladda uu Madaxweynaha ka yahay oo ah tii ugu taageerada weyneyd dhanka Beesha Caalmka laga soo bilaabo 1991. Waxaan ka codsaneynaa dalalka deeq bixiyeyaasha ah, Dalalka Carabta iyo guud ahaan adduunweynaha in aan wax deeq ah loogu dhiibin shacbiga Soomaaliyeed Xukuumad uu Wasiir Maaliyadeed u yahay shaqsiga leh sifooyinka kor ku xusan.

Somalia MPs accuse Finance Minister of corruption 19 Sep 19, 2009 - 12:36:14 PM MOGADISHU, Somalia Sep 19 (Garowe Online) - A group of lawmakers in Somalia have publicly criticized the Horn of Africa country's finance minister, accusing him of mismanaging public funds and taking steps to "destroy" the interim government, Radio Garowe reports. The group of lawmakers included: MP Abdullahi Ahmed Afrah, MP Farah Ali Abdi, MP Mohamed Ali Omar, MP Ali Yusuf Osman, MP Dahir Abdulkadir Muse, and MP Shukri Haji Ahmed. MP Afrah, who spoke at a Saturday press conference in Mogadishu on behalf of the lawmakers, said Finance Minister Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden has taken steps to destroy the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) led by President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed. MP Afrah "The Finance Minister illegally misuses the small income collected at the port and airport in Mogadishu," said MP Afrah, who is a member of the TFG parliament's financial accountability subcommittee. Further, the lawmakers accused the Finance Minister of "directly mismanaging donor funds," particularly financial donations from Arab countries that support the TFG in Mogadishu. "Government funds are not deposited at the Central Bank and there is no paper trail for accountability purposes," MP Afrah added. No 2009 budget The group of lawmakers said Finance Minister Sharif Hassan has not presented the 2009 budget to the TFG parliament. "Sharif Hassan is currently leading an illegal process to mint Somali Shillings without parliament approval, which will have a negative impact on our [somali] economy," MP Afrah said. READ: Somalia govt to mint new currency, parliament demands approval Further, the Somali MPs accused the country's Finance Minister of entering into a controversial agreement with Kenya, whereby imported products from Kenya are taxed in Nairobi before arriving in parts of south-central Somalia. According to the MPs, this scheme, which does not include imports to regional authorities in Somaliland and Puntland, is led by "relatives" of Finance Minister Sharif Hassan. Controversy over Puntland "[Finance Minister] Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden is the most influential member of President Sheikh Sharif's government, and any Minister who disagrees with him gets fired," said MP Afrah, who spoke for the group of MPs in Mogadishu. He specifically noted Prof. Mohamed Abdi Gandi and Mohamed Abdullahi Oomar, the former ministers of defense and foreign affairs for the TFG, respectively. The group of MPs, who issued a strongly-worded statement referring to the Finance Minister as "Sharif Sakiin," or Sharif the Razor Blade, said he plans to derail last month's agreement between the TFG and the Puntland State government in northern Somalia. "Sharif Hassan is directly involved in a scheme to create friction between the TFG and Puntland, which is rooted in the agreement Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid [Ali Sharmake] signed [with Puntland] which called for the establishment of a Somali naval base in Puntland to fight pirates," said MP Afrah, who was reading aloud the written statement. The Finance Minister was accused of "using Fisheries Minister Abdirahman Ibbi" to ink an anti-piracy cooperation deal with neighboring Djibouti, a move that angered Puntland President Abdirahman Farole. READ: Puntland leader criticizes federal govt ministers The written statement included a brief political history of Sharif Hassan since his rise in Somali national politics in 2004, when he was elected as the TFG parliament's first Speaker. He later joined the Islamist opposition and rejoined the TFG again in 2008, when Sheikh Sharif's Islamist camp signed a peace deal with the TFG. He was appointed as Somalia's Minister of Finance when Sheikh Sharif became Somali President in January 2009 at the conclusion of UN-brokered talks in Djibouti. Source: Garowe Online
