(SomaliNet) The leader of consultative council of Islamic Courts Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys has widely condemned on Friday a statement by the Kenyan government towards deploying African peacekeeping troops in Somalia within few weeks or months as inconvenience plan to undermine the new born peace and stability in the war torn country. “I assume that Kenyan government were in neutral position in the Somalia affairs but it has clearly showed that it joined the list of the anti Islam nations in the world,” Sheikh Aweys, told local Somalia radio Shabelle referring to the yesterday’s meeting in Nairobi by the IGAD military experts on planning possible peace keeping forces in Somalia. | “Kenyan government has clearly showed that it joined the list of the anti-Islam nations in the world...” |
Sheikh Hassan Dahir, a key founder of Islamic Courts, said they would not accept any deployment of foreign troops in Somalia. Asked what the Islamic Courts to do if the deployment mission starts, Sheikh Aweys said they would launch preventive steps against any outside troops. “We repeat again that we are absolutely against foreign deployment,” he said.
