A third round of talks between the Somali government and the opposition, mediated by the United States, Britain, Turkey and the European Union, begins on Sunday. The talks aim to reach an agreement on elections and a joint mechanism for administering them. The meetings are scheduled to take place from November 14 to 18. The dispute centers on whether to adopt direct elections, which the government supports following a constitutional amendment that extended President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s term to 2027, or to return to a clan-based power-sharing system, as the opposition demands. The opposition also rejects holding elections unilaterally. An expert on African affairs said the opposition had not yet decided whether to take part, warning that failure to reach a solution could allow the extremist al-Shabaab movement to take control of areas in the south of the country.
