US supports establishment of Somali transitional govt

 

WASHINGTON, May 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The United States on Wednesday offered its support to the transitional federal government of Somalia, saying "it's time to bring the Somali people out of a very long period of civil conflict."

 

Announcing a joint statem ent with the European Union, the StateDepartment spokesman Richard Boucher said the US "strongly supportthe establishment of a functioning central government in Somalia."

 

The United States is joining hands with the EU "to reestablish effective government for Somalis, so that they can live in peace and prosper. And we'll continue to work together with them in thatregard," Boucher said.

 

The United States is the largest bilateral donor to Somalia -- 30 million dollars in the last year, according to Boucher.

 

Boucher made the remarks after Somalia's parliament in exile approved on Wednesday the deployment of Ugandan and Sudanese peacekeepers to the troubled Horn of Africa nation, and also authorized the government's relocation plans.

 

Somalia has been without a functioning government since 1991, when the administration of Mohamed Siad Barre was toppled. The newtransitional government was formed in Kenya last year, but has so far been unable to move back to Somalia because of security considerations. Enditem
