| 2007-06-28 |
| (SomaliNet) Hundreds of Somali Diasporas opposing the visit by the Somalia premier Ali Gedi in USA made demonstrations in front of the US State Department in Washington accusing Mr. Gedi of putting the country into the hands of the enemy of Somali people. The protesters gathered outside of the state department chanting anti Gedi slogans blaming him for the responsibility of the crisis in the horn of the African country Somalia. The marchers also condemned the presence of the Ethiopian forces in Somalia as illegal and in violation of the state sovereignty. Sources say that the organizers of the rally submitted a complaint letter to the state department on pressuring the Ethiopian government to pull its troops out of Somalia. They also asked for the US government to stop the financial support it offers to the transitional government. SomaliaÂ’s Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi will attend the United Nations assembly on June 28 in New York where he will be delivering speech on the current crisis in Somalia. |

| #2 Sounds like there are a lot of Somalis in the US that back the Islamic Courts. Maybe the Feds should round 'em up and ship 'em back, if that's the way they feel. Shootin' em would cause too much of a stink, but that's an option that should be looked into, especially in DC and Minnesota. |

| #1 Seems like if this one guy was responsible for screwing up Somolia, he must have been pretty busy for the last quarter century. |
