The inauguration of Somalia's proposed transitional parliament has been postponed because some clans had not completed the process of nominating members, sources close to the Somali reconciliation conference said on Friday. The inauguration of the parliament has now been tentatively scheduled for 4 August, when it is hoped that all the clans would have handed in their lists of nominated MPs to the foreign ministers, who make up the IGAD Facilitation Committee steering the peace process.
