Somaliland is optimistic that Somalia will honor the olive branch to kick-start mediation talks.
On Thursday, Somaliland President announced that the two countries would be seeking to mend fences at talks organized in Accra on the 19th March, and expressed optimism that the Somalia counterpart would not make unnecessary excuses to attend the talks.
It is not clear who is behind the latest diplomatic efforts. Last month, much-hyped talks that were to take place in Ethiopia failed to take place.
The Federal government of Somalia agrees (in principle) the meeting to take place but there is substantial discussion remaining on format, venue, and role of 3rd parties, according to sources.
The Somalia-Somaliland talks collapsed several times after the two sides tabled hard conditions.
Somaliland regained independence in 1991; after 1960 union of Somaliland & Somalia failed and late Siyad Barre’s military carried out genocide against people in northern Somalia (now Somaliland).
