Next round of talks to cement UN-backed Somali peace deal announced


Welcoming continuing regional efforts to support the recent accord aiming to bring peace to war-torn Somalia, the top United Nations envoy to the Horn of Africa nation today announced upcoming talks between two key committees set up as part of the agreement.
Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah said that the third round of talks of the Joint Security Committee, tasked with implementing security arrangements, and the High Level Committee, dealing with political cooperation, justice and reconciliation, will be held on 25-26 October in Djibouti.
