Mogadishu – International partners - African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, European Union (EU), Finland, Germany, Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, and the United Nations - are alarmed by public statements made by some officials yesterday suggesting that the closed-door, consultative, ice-breaking meeting of Federal Government and Federal Member State leaders is not making progress. We stress that these talks are central to ensuring implementation of the 17 September electoral model for credible elections, without which the progress of recent years in Somalia's stability, economic development and institutional reforms will be at risk.
We urge the leaders to return to the talks immediately to reach
agreement, through compromise, on remaining issues. We reiterate that
partners will not support a parallel process, partial elections, or new
initiatives leading to an extension of prior mandates. We urge all
Somali leaders to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from any
unilateral actions that may cause an escalation of political tensions.
In view of the gravity of the current situation, partners are undertaking urgent consultations with the FGS-FMS meeting participants and other key Somali stakeholders to identify options for quick resolution of this impasse and a rapid return to dialogue.
