Letter from Lord Avebury about Somaliland Elections
From Lord Avebury P0903052

May 3, 2009
Dear Mark,
As you will have seen, Somaliland President Riyale and the opposition parties have accepted the agreement brokered by the Mediation Committee. Could we or the EU now ask President Riyale what is the timescale for his government to introduce the legislation necessary to implement the agreement, including the prohibition on further extension of the President's term of office, and access by all parties to the publicly owned media, and what independent monitoring will be provided in the legislation, to ensure that the agreement is carried out? Subject to the international community's satisfaction with these arrangements, what technical and financial help do you think could be offered for the elections, by the EU or any other agency?
Yours Sincerely,
Eric
The Rt Hon the Lord Malloch-Brown KCMG,
Foreign & Commonwealth Office,
London SW1A 2AH
