| Sounds fair. It's their turn. (Interfax) - Somalia would like Russia to be a member of a peacekeeping contingent in Somalia, as it was in the case of Sierra Leone, Somali charge d'affaires ad interim in Russia Mohamed Handule said at a press conference on Friday in Moscow. The Somali diplomat said that he understands Russia's position of not sending its citizens to a country until security guaranties are provided. The Somali diplomat hailed the position of the Russian Foreign Ministry, saying that Somalia is thankful to Russia for backing a resolution over the aggravated situation there. |
