Factions Violate Ceasefire
NAIROBI, 11 FEB 2003--SOME FACTION leaders attending the Somalia National Reconciliation Conference in Kenya are encouraging their militias in Somalia to fight so that they can gain negotiating power during the peace talks, delegates and international observers have said.

"They [faction leaders] are here to reconcile, but they are sending some encouragement to [their followers] still proceed with wars in Somalia," Mohamed Aden, chairman of the conference's youth group, Save Somali Youth, said.
