    There was another stalemate a traditional leaders mediating the electoral dispute between President Muse Bihi Abdi and the official national opposition parties met in Hargeisa on Wednesday.

    While the opposition maintain that the president must commit to holding the presidential elections in November, the president has vehemently refused to give in.

    Another round of talks will be held on Thursday, but the opposition seems to be losing running out of patience with the president.

    The fear is that the opposition parties may call fresh nationwide protests.

    Sources within the meeting indicate that the president demanded that the elders withdraw from mediation and that the speakers of both houses of parliament take over the resolution of the electoral dispute.

    The suggestion was however shut down by the opposition parties, as they argued their inability to render a constitutional based decision on the crises.

    The meeting was scheduled to take place before Eid al-Adha, to defuse tensions between the two sides.

    The Somaliland president opposes the constitutional order of the presidential election, and the opening of the parties.

    The two came closer after traditional leaders succeeded in freeing opposition officials who had been illegally detained by the president.

    Last month, opposition leaders called for nationwide protests which turned bloody with several protestors getting injured whole some leaders and journalists were arrested.
