Mogadishu 14, Dec.06 ( Sh.M.Network) – The Islamist delegation led by Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, Islamic Courts chairman and Ibrahim Adow, foreign affairs chairman of Islamic Courts explained their meeting with Yemeni authorities in the capital Sana.

Prof. Ibrahim Adow

 

Ibrahim Hassan Adow, who spoke with Shabelle radio in Mogadishu by the telephone, said they have convened with Yemen president Ali Abadalla Salah over the mounting crises in Somalia.

 

He denied rumors that government officials and Islamists were due to negotiate in Sana. “I want to make one thing clear the government and the Islamic Courts are never planning to open negotiations here in Yemen,” he stressed.

 

He pointed out Islamists were not prepared to talk with the Ethiopian government as long as it military forces are in Somalia.

“We will talk with the Ethiopians if it withdraws all its combatant troops from Somalia if it wants peaceful dialog with us,” he said,

 

He added, “The Islamic Courts are now able to announce a government because we administer the capital and most strategic provinces in central and southern Somalia, but however we are still ready to negotiate with transitional government based in Baidoa.”

 

Yemen president and the Islamists delegation also focused on the Somali migrants crossing the Red Sea by impoverished boats as more Somalis lost their lives during adventurous voyage.

 

Ethiopia that is accused of having thousands of troops in Somalia denies the accusations, admitting it only has several hundred military trainers and advisors that it said came to Somalia with the request of Somali transitional government.

^^^A great step forward. Their claims of not wanting to govern, and not wanting power has now been shatered.

“I want to make one thing clear the government and the Islamic Courts are never planning to open negotiations here in Yemen,” he (Ibrahim Hassan Adow) stressed.

This Yemen trip must have been a big disappointment. President of Yemen was unfazed by all the ICU announcements of capturing re-capturing villages and hamlets far back from their front lines.

 

The Joke is that evey Hamlet or town between Barhakobo and Mugadishu will be captured and recaptured on a slow news day.

Good move! What’s the point of negotiating with a foreign government whose army is inside Somalia and its parliament voted to target and kill Somali citizens on the premises of preventive strike.

Jimcaale,

There are ethiopians "praying" day and night for ICU to win. These are ethiopians who want the old ethiopia to come back, so they can rule everybody from Addis Ababa.

We still call them ethiopians. We don't call them by the Hassan Tahir clan name.

If you want to call every somali who prefers to live by good neighbor policies with ethiopia as an ethiopian, I guarantee you, you are calling the absolute majority of somali as ethiopians.

 

Thank you for that, but soon you will realize wether you call them ethiopian or Tigray or Haabashi your somali problems are not going away. My advice is face your somali brothers and see what you can do without the accusations and counter accusations of naming each other with foreign names.
