 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Somalia's new prime minister will try to open a dialogue with Islamists to end an insurgency that a human rights group said has killed nearly 6,000 civilians so far this year, officials said Sunday.
Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein, who formed his Cabinet on Sunday, has vowed to reconcile the nation as it struggles to contain the insurgency.
"The new prime minister will talk with Islamists and other opponents," presidential spokesman Hussein Mohamed Mohamoud told The Associated Press. "That is the first priority."
