According to Chochiev, the situation was difficult and the 9th round of talks would not be easy either.
“The more we work, the more we are interested in concrete results”. “Our southern neighbors continue to organize provocations, abduct our citizens and groundlessly blame us in many faults.This is the result of the fact that the aggressor did not receive any corresponding international assessment to its criminal actions. The Georgian authorities did not calm down event after the publication of the report of Tagliavini’s Commission, where thing were clearly explained”, said Chochiev. He emphasized that the South Ossetian side can provide proved evidences of Georgia’s being prepared for a new war.

Speaking to a crowd in Ufurow district in the Bakool region, Mahad Omar Abdikarin, Shabaab’s governor for the Bay and Bakool regions in southwestern Somalia, recently announced that the al-Qaeda-backed group will attack Puntland, the semi-autonomous state, and the breakaway republic of Somaliland. Abdikarin is a prominent leader who has publicly flaunted Shabaab’s link with al Qaeda and has urged foreign fighters to flock to Somalia.
Having consolidated its power in the Deep South along the Kenyan border, Shabaab has launched a terror offensive in the northern self-declared state of Puntland. It is a Mexican drug gang-style campaign, with an aggressive string of targeted assassinations and low profile bombings in a Somali region that had been relatively safe and prosperous.
