Encore une fois bravo !
Bravo à l’Union européenne. Financer un accord symbolique et sans véritable contenu, qui n’a rien résolu, à en juger par l’augmentation du nombre des accrochages journaliers et par le nombre des morts dans les différents camps, ça c’est du courage ! Pardon, de l’inconscience !
Mais si l’Union européenne déborde d’argent au point de le jeter par les fenêtres, qu’elle le distribue à toutes celles et tous ceux qui en ont vraiment besoin au motif qu’ils sont les victimes des bénéficiaires choisis par l’U.E. L’historique laissant penser que ces derniers le détourneront probablement pour leur profit personnel et pour développer des activités « spéciales » et pas toujours « recommandables ».
Pas de panique toutefois, car cette manne européenne ne sera pas perdue pour tout le monde, même si l’usage est loin de l’objectif recherché. Peut-être sera-t-elle même utilisée pour acquérir des armes … et des propriétés à l’étranger ?
Le montant de la rétrocession occulte que Guelleh pourrait avoir imposé aux destinataires de l’enveloppe européenne pour ses bons services (organisation de la conférence, mise à disposition de salles, logistique, protection, …) n’a pas été dévoilé publiquement …

Commission welcomes signing of agreement between the Transitional Federal Government and the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia
Louis Michel, European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, welcomes the agreement between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia, concluded on 19th August, reiterating the support expressed by the French Presidency of the European Union.
Commissioner Michel remarked: « The parties to the Agreement have acted in a spirit of commitment and compromise, and of courage. I trust that its signature marks a significant step forward towards that reconciliation, and towards peace. As the most concrete and immediate confirmation of that progress, I call upon all parties to fully respect the cessation of armed conflict within 30 days. This is a unique opportunity for peace and stability in Somalia which has to be seized for the benefit of Somalia and to end the long suffering of its civilian population. »
And he added: « The Chairman of the Commission of the African Union, Mr Jean Ping, has rightly called for support from the international community to sustain the current momentum towards peace. The Commission for its part will continue to do all in its powers along with the United Nations and with the rest of the international community to support the process of continued political reconciliation in Somalia. »
In March 2008, the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) presented its reconciliation strategy to achieve peace and stability. This strategy aims at promoting peace-building at the community level and proposed reconciliation between the TFG and the opposition based within and outside Somalia.
One major step in the implementation of this strategy was the political agreement reached in Djibouti on 9 June under the auspices of the UN between the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia and the TFG[1], which has now been formally signed. The agreement provides for:
* Cessation of hostilities by both parties for an initial period of 90 days, starting 30 days from the signing of the agreement.
* The submission of a joint request to the UN Security Council to authorise and deploy an international stabilisation force.
* The withdrawal of the Ethiopian troops, following the deployment of a sufficient number of UN forces.
* The ARS to dissociate itself from any armed groups or individuals that do not adhere to the terms of the Agreement.
