| 2011-04-03 | |
| Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweis, former Hisbul Islam leader who later joined al Shabab today spoke out about the UN envoy's proposed meeting on Somalia which will be held in Nairobi on April 12. At a press conference in Mogadishu, Mr. Awies described the meeting as deceitful and called the Somali people to be cautious of foreign movements. "We see as tire full one and it will change nothing from Somali people. These are Muslim people and leave them alone for their God only..." said Sheikh Awies.
"They want to demoralize our people, they are going to destabilize the country", he said. | |

| #1 He said that Somali people will no longer tolerate what he called foreign intension [intervention] inside the country saying that the UN is new colonial organization. The second part of this statement is not far off the mark. "They want to demoralize our people, they are going to destabilize the country", he said. When you have as much entropy abounding in Somalia like you do now, it is hard to destabilize it further. Things are so bad that you must look up to see down. |
