Nairobi, (insidesomalia.org)-The chairman of Asmara based Somali reliberation organization Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed has met with Mohamed Qanyare Afrah one of Somali’s ousted warlords in Nairobi the capital of Kenya on Saturday-officials said.

The meeting between the two former opponents has happened at a Hotel resided in by Sheikh sharif when Mohamed Qanyare has visited Sharif where they started the meeting after minutes of smiling.

It’s yet unknown the agenda of Sharif and Qanyare’s talks although they appeared to have disregarded their previous antagonism.

Mohamed Qanyare was one of Somali warlords those set up the ousted organization called (counter terrorism alliance) that was intended to fight/capture and crack down the Islamic courts union fighters/leaders that has been growing that time.

Nevertheless following a heavy battle stuck between the Islamists fighters and the warlord’s militias the Islamists have overpowered the Anti-terrorism organization.

The warlords, who say they have joined America's fight against terrorism, have called themselves the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counterterrorism.

They were led by Mohammed Dere, the mayor of the capital at present and Mohammed Qanyare who now is Somali MP and Bashir Rageh Somali businessman, and were all powerful figures in Mogadishu at that time, although their organization was entirely uprooted by themselves ousted Islamic courts union by Ethiopian backed transitional government troops after they controlled a large parts of Somalia for six months.

Some where else reports from Kenyan capital; Nairobi say that Somali premier Nor Adde has flown from Kenya to Saudi Arabia after Somalia economy summit ended.

It’s yet unknown the reason behind the sudden trip of Somali premier to Saudi Arabia.

Somalia is on its 14th attempt in almost 15 years to establish a government. The interim administration of President Abdullahi Yusuf has been paralyzed by internal armed insurgency since its formation in Kenya late in 2004.
