Efforts to Mend Rifts in the TFG Underway

Mogadishu, Somalia (HOL) - Sources in the city of Biadoa have told HOL that efforts to end the rifts in the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) are underway. The rifts began when Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein sacked Mogadishu's powerful former mayor Mohamed Dhere who is a key ally of President Yusuf.

According to our sources in Baidoa, meetings are going on in the Presidential Palace in Baidoa where President Yusuf is currently staying and in Bakiin Hotel where Prime Minister Husein is staying. It is reported that both men are holding talks with their supporters in the Parliament.

President Yusuf and Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein signed a deal in neighboring Ethiopia this week to end the feud that has threatened to derail the implementation of a peace deal signed recently at U.N.-led talks in Djibouti.

Supporters of both the President and the Prime Minister have tabled opposing motions that ask the resignation of the President or the Prime Minister. While mediation efforts between the two top men in Somalia politics are underway, some hard-line supporters of each man insist that their man is right and the other is wrong and should go.

While this is going on, Al-shabab, the armed wing of the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS) has seized the port town of Kismayo which is the third largest city of Somalia.

Observers of Somalia politics will be keenly watching the results of the negotiations and mediations.
