The lawlessness and absence of security makes finding a political solution almost impossible. When local elders and delegates wanted to assemble in Mogadishu for a reconciliation conference, security conditions forced them to postpone the conference for several months (though when they did meet, in big numbers and for a long time, they achieved no breakthrough).
这种无法无天的局面使得寻求政治解决方案几乎没有可能。当地的长老和代表想要在摩加迪沙召开一次和解大会时，安全状况迫使他们将会期延迟了几个月（尽管他们最终会晤，这场参与者众且历时绵长的会议最终也没有取得突破）。
