Nope, not Iraq or Israel-Hezbollah/Lebanon. This one:

Peace talks aimed at avoiding civil war in Somalia were officially postponed Monday following a week of high-risk brinkmanship and heightened rhetoric from emboldened Islamic militias and the country’s weak transitional government.

One side and then the other refused to attend talks that were due to restart Saturday in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, each accusing their adversary of hostile intentions.

The latest sticking point is the arrival of Ethiopian troops to bolster the government’s shaky defenses at its headquarters in the provincial town of Baidoa.

Islamist leaders responded with a call to Somalia to wage jihad, or holy war, against foreign fighters and organized a rally of more than 3,000 people in the capital Mogadishu to protest their arrival.

John Prendergast, a senior adviser with the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, says the flurry of moves leaves the country on a “precipice.”

“I think both sides – particularly the Islamists – are throwing a few jabs, to use a boxing analogy, testing each other to see how far the other will go in advance of any talks, if they should happen,” he says.

A complete breakdown in negotiations could spark a major regional conflict.

Lord, have mercy.
