2006-08-07
(SomaliNet) The powerful Islamists in Somalia has again condemned on Sunday the transitional federal government based in Baidoa town for not being responsible on Somali people after it sought solution from SomaliÂ’s enemy (Ethiopia). The leader of consultative council of Islamic Courts Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, who is now in Somalia Galgadud central region, criticized the arrival of Ethiopian foreign minister Seyoum Mesfin in Baidoa as illegal and not justice for solving the current political crisis among the government.

He blamed the TFG of taking orders from Addis Ababa which he says has great influence in the movement of President Abdullahi Yusuf. “The government in Baidoa belongs to Ethiopia and the arrival of the Ethiopian official in Somalia Baidoa town indicates that Addis Ababa government dedicates the transitional federal government to what ever they do,” Sheikh Aweys said adding “Ethiopia over looks the government to fulfill its interests in Somalia.”

Sheikh Hassan Aweys has also warned the constant intervention by Ethiopian troops in Somalia sending again a strong massage to the world community to hold back Ethiopia from Somalia. He said if the world powers do not confirm the withdrawal of Ethiopian soldiers from our country things would change drastically and this will led more bloodshed in horn of Africa and create more crises inside Ethiopia.
