Somalia Talks Stall: Federal leaders and opposition figures met in Mogadishu’s Halane compound with US and UK mediators, but ended Wednesday without agreement—opposition pressed for detainees’ release and broader political freedoms, while the government pushed ahead on election design and constitutional amendments. Drought Emergency Worsens: Puntland families describe near-famine conditions as rains fail again and aid thins out, with warnings of severe acute malnutrition for hundreds of thousands of children. Piracy Pressure Mounts: Families in Karachi protested over Somali pirate hijackings, including a tanker case now in its 23rd day, as reports say ransom demands have risen and crews’ conditions are deteriorating. Kenya-Somalia Border Reopening Delayed: Kenya’s Ruto blamed renewed fighting and uncertainty inside Somalia for keeping the border shut, after earlier progress was derailed by clashes near the frontier. Regional Diplomacy: Somalia and the EU held a first partnership dialogue in Mogadishu, focusing on stability, security cooperation, migration, and investment.
