In a letter to the Djibouti president, Mogadishu-based faction leader Hussein Mohamed Aideed said he would not attend the Djibouti-hosted Somali peace talks as it excluded organisations that had fought for "justice" and included corrupt former officials and extremist Islamic groups.

He thanked President Ismael Omar Gelleh for sending a special delegation to Mogadishu, but said that those attending the conference were "our political rivals" and no place was left for him and his Somali National Alliance movement.
