International community is angry with the parliament and TFG

[Coeus]

The decision by the Transitional Federal Parliament to ignore the African Union’s request for wide consultation and instead to unilaterally extend its term beyond the end of the transition period is a disservice to the people of Somalia and a setback to the establishment of legitimate and effective government.

The Parliament has failed to deliver on the crucial tasks required of them by the Djibouti Peace Process to help pull Somalia out of twenty years of conflict. This unilateral and unrepresentative extension is not in the interests of the Somali people. It serves only to further undermine the credibility of the Parliament and risks strengthening al-Shabaab. This self-serving political manoeuvring calls into question the suitability of the senior leadership of the Parliament as viable partners for the Somali people and the International Community as we collectively work to bring peace, stability, and progress back to Somalia.

We believe that this ill-conceived decision should be reconsidered and urge the Transitional Federal Government and Parliament to enter immediately into serious discussions with its regional partners, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary General, and its key supporters in the International Community on an acceptable way forward.

AU's view is short sighted and the constant demand for Wider consultation is a guarenteed means to retain the situation in a deadlock. The logical path after 20years of failed wider consultation is to narrow the crateria and minimise the number of variables in the equation to simplify the situation. Focus on the problems at hand, for 20years every effort has been exhausted on the wider issues of somali unity. When the problem is currently in moqadishu and not even the outside the 4km that are under AU occupation.

The Parliament has failed to deliver on the crucial tasks required of them by the Djibouti Peace Process to help pull Somalia out of twenty years of conflict.

For 20years the peace process has followed the dictates of individuals with an alterior motive to involve themselve in the peace talks, these individuals see the peace process as a revenue source and they exploit the corrupt somali representatives who are easily bribed. The tasks set in Djbouti were a set of unresolvable conundrums that were designed to keep the peace in an empasse.

What regional powers Puntland and Somaliland?

Or do they mean Ethiopia?

Ethiopia is disappointed that the TFG has gone above it's head and began making decision on it's without their consent. Ethiopia does not want to see the end of the transitional period for it has nothing to gain from a period of peace. Melez will loose his enfluence and level of regional responsibility and direct envolvement. TFG should be aware that the world will not abandon them and pull support simply because they have refused to follow instructions the current team is the best that has ever been in place and if a solution is to be found the international community and the regional partners "powers" should assist guide efforts in a direction that will yield fruitfull.
