 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Somalia's weak transitional government has agreed to attend peace talks with the Islamic militia controlling most of the country's south, a government spokesman said Tuesday.
The U.N.-backed administration announced last week that it would boycott the talks scheduled for July 22 in Sudan, saying the militiamen had killed civilians and were growing increasingly radical.
Spokesman Abdirahman Mohamed Dinari said that government leaders had reversed their decision because of pressure from the international community.
