    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in relation to Mr. Billow's question, we all know that the Somali nationals who met in Kenya to discuss peace were a cocktail of peaceful Somalis, current warlords and former warlords. It is a give and take process, all inclusive and they managed to reach an agreement. It was a Somali process. We had, as a region, no capacity or duty to vet who participated in it because we wanted Somalis to come together. Indeed, they did. That is why those who broke away are prevented from coming to this country, and they are no longer here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of a possible invasion of Somalia, I do not believe that there is any imminent danger of any neighbour doing so. Indeed, under the IGADD November 8, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3473 arrangement, if eventually we send a peace keeping force to Somalia, it is agreed that frontline States to Somalia of Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti will not contribute any troops. It is only Uganda and Sudan who have put troops forward. This, again, has been resisted by the ICU. To keep peace in any country, those in it must accept and welcome you, otherwise you become an invading army. We are waiting for that welcome. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on territorial claims that Mr. Maore has talked about, I think this is a historical factor that is long dead. We do not have any neighbour of Kenya laying any territorial claims on our country. I said that our armed forces are on high alert. They are guarding our borders and we do not have any problem."
