Somali ambassador says Mogadishu becomes peaceful in 16 years

Somali Ambassador to Ethiopia Abdikarin Farah has said the capital Mogadishu is currently peaceful for the first time in 16 years.

 

At a news conference on Wednesday, Farah said no gunfire, mortar shelling or convoy attack have occurred over the past 10 days.

 

Calm has been restored in Mogadishu as remnants of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) have been defeated by the forces of Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and Ethiopia.

 

The UIC was driven out of Mogadishu last December by an alliance of the TFG and Ethiopia.

 

More importantly, he said, with the increasing control of the TFG in Mogadishu, ****** elders are re-establishing their authority because the TFG created an environment where they can talk now and they are no longer targets of assassination.

 

In fact, the ****** clan leaders, after a series of meetings with TFG Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi last week, now seem prepared to participate in TFG's upcoming national reconciliation conference, said Farah.

 

Farah further said the mid-April national reconciliation conference has been delayed not for security reasons, as suggested, but just because the organizing committees are currently in Kenyan capital Nairobi looking for soliciting funds for the conference.

 

The conference will succeed in its primary aim of real clan and national reconciliation, he added.

 

Despite allegations, the TFG is made up of Somalis from all the major clans without exception, he said.

 

The TFG totally deplore any and all loss of civilian lives in Mogadishu and elsewhere in Somalia, but neither the TFG nor the Ethiopian allies, bear responsibility for the recent fighting.

 

"The so-called young Mujahideen movement claimed responsibility for all the recent attacks in Mogadishu, causing over 100 deaths," he said.

 

The remnants of the UIC have been targeting the supporters of the transitional government, intellectuals, business community, women associations, and former military members.

 

Some international media outlets are reporting negatively, saying the government does not have support in Mogadishu, he said.

 

"My government has been fighting an enemy that has no respect for any human rights, and it even prepared to desecrate the human dead," he said.

 

At present, African Union (AU) troops are supposed to be replacing the Ethiopian soldiers but so far only 1,200 Ugandans have arrived, of the planned 8,000-strong force.

[Paragon]

Most probably the guy is cooped up in the Mogadishu 'green zone' area and thinks he is the only source of news to the nation .

[Dhubad.]

These guys are shameless walaahi. Maba xishoonaayaan kawaran.

 

Cajiib Sheekhoow!

^^wax iskula hadh baanku idhi qosol gariirkana iska daa nin wayn baad tahay. Xamar iyo xaaladeeda habarta tuulo joogaa og. Miyaad hadal wa ku badali kartaa.

 

I have been doing just that and see where you're now... defeated and disappointed!

[General Duke]

^^^lol. Defetaed by whom, you must be smoking something strong saxib.

 

Mogadishu is under control those who want to keep the looted properties will have to find another means other than millitary, that has not worked.

[Jaylaani]

^^Maxaa mugdisho sidoo ku doodayay reer butland baanu nahay and we will be united against Somaliland. You didn't say Somalis will unite against Somaliland.

 

Like I said. waxoo nasasho aha ayaagd u baahan or better yet, lets wait the TFG/Xabashis to massacre more innocent people in Xamar so you can SMILE proudly

[Faarax-Brawn]

^Correct. Mogadishu is under the control of the People.

[Dhubad.]

Duke, Mawaxaad leedahay xamar nabad ayaa kajirto?

[General Duke]

Mogadishu is under the control of the TFG, the security situation is being dealt with as we speak.

 

We are heading towards the right direction.

 

Jaylani You seem to be uttering the usual garbage. Puntland is united against the aggression of the secessionist.

 

Puntland as a state is part of Somalia and recognises the government of Somalia as well as the capital being Mogadishu. Unlike the secessionist of course who hate everything to do with SOMALIA, as said by HE Faisal Ali Warrabe and Co.

[Jaylaani]

Lo@xamar is under control of the TFG..And then you wake up!

 

P.S. garoowe iyo Bosaaso ayaad ii sharaxaysaa miyaa

[General Duke]

^^^lol Mogadishu is under control, thoug I know you are getting your news fom certain clan websites the same ones who claimed villa Somalia was taken over a while back.

 

Again Moigadishu is under control those who wont hand their weapons over will get it confiscated.

[Gordon Gekko]

^^ Duke, no point discussing with these gentlemen. According to them their still praying in Villa Somalia while A/Y and Geedi has become their housemaids who serve them tea.
