UN official says transition in Somalia is slow

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) ? The U.N. representative to Somalia said he is "deeply concerned by the ongoing delays" in choosing all the 275 members of parliament who will select a new Somali president.

Somali elders must select the legislators ahead of the planned election on Aug. 28 of a speaker and a deputy, said the U.N. Special Representative Augustine Mahiga on Saturday.

On August 20, 215 lawmakers were sworn in. It also was the day a new president was to be elected, but those hopes were dashed by political bickering and threats of violence. Somalia has not had a stable government since 1991.
