The UN-led Djibouti peace process for Somalia came to a climax at the end of January 2009 with the election of Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed as the president of the new unity government. The negotiations took place outside Somalia and excluded some of the most important players in Somali politics. The Djibouti process was protracted and resulted in ‘winners’ and ‘losers’, among the former being Sheikh Sharif and Sheikh Madobe, and the latter former President Abdullahi Yusuf and Prime Minister Nur Hussein ‘Adde’. Ultimately, this UN initiative continues to run into difficulties because it excluded important Somali groups who continue to wreak havoc on the ground in Somalia by violent means
