BUSINESSLIKE?

One thing is noticeable in this Mogadishu Summit. Whatever the outcome, it has started with calm and businesslike. To some like Omar Finish and Guudlaawe, it looks boring though, judging from their body language. It is possible that they are irritated by the animated conversations between PM Mohamed Hussein Roble and those seated near him. Perhaps, that particular theme under discussion at that moment wasn’t their favorite, and therefore, doesn’t attract their attention. There could be other possibilities for their dull looking faces.

But one thing is sure, though – when the stumbling obstacle (Farmajo) to peaceful talks and political bargaining, was removed, things started to look normal. There is sense of relief that he is no longer in the equation in a meaningful way. So be it.
