Somali Warlords agree to disarm
Key Somali warlords have agreed to disarm their fighters and join the transitional government, an official said on Friday.The announcement followed a meeting on Friday between Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf and clan leaders that proceeded even as - just outside the presidential residence - clan gunmen fired a rocket-propelled grenade and exchanged gunfire with government troops.
Certainly that would be good news if it pans out. Somalia has had more than its share of tragedy.
Dave, a slightly different perspective on the same theme…
