Peacenow Posted April 25, 2007 Unbelievble interview and transcript. I have never seen in my life, a 'president' talk like this. Like a thug. Not even Saddam Hussein speaks like this man. The person interviewing him, was clearly shocked by this man. There are a number of videos in the aritcle, make sure you click on them and see them. http:http://www.innercitypress.com/somalia042407.html// Transcript of TFG President Yusuf Q&A, March 21, 2007, see esp. Q&A 5 and 6 1. Q. It is been reported that the government instigated the current fighting. A. The man who made that accusation who claims he is speaking on behalf of a clan and that his house was attacked is well known and he works directly with the Islamic Courts. Since he collaborates with the courts and the courts are the ones who are killing the people and conducting terrorism amongst the people and who are destructive, it does not matter how educated he is, it doesn't matter how famous he is, it does not matter from what clan he is: Society should be protected from that kind of man (arrested/eliminated?) because he will not contribute anything to the community except trouble and destruction. 2. Q. But Mr. President he is saying we were a clan that was meeting just like the other clans meet? A: Son, he is lying! We know the names of the guys he was meeting with at that time. They are one family (sub-clan). They cannot even speak on behalf of a sub-clan. They are individuals and we know the one he is having the meeting with. The name ****** is being used as a cover but it does not exist. I believe you have asked the Prime Minister about this ( i.e. ******) and you know from which clan the Prime Minister comes from (i.e. he is ******). 3. Q: One can ask, can the president draw people closer to each other now that there is on going fighting everywhere and the people are fleeing, many are wounded so how will they come (to Mogadishu for the peace conference)? A: The facts are well known. It is the guys I have named who are causing the instability and we are working to ensure they can never again cause instability (threat?). This city should be secure when the conference (reconciliation conference scheduled for April 16 in Mogadishu) is to be held. That is the transitional government's responsibility. 4. Q: So have you been overpowered? Reports say that it is the government troops and the peacekeepers that are being dragged. Were you overpowered? A: First of all have you ever fought in a war? 5. Q: Then who is fighting? Isn't it reported that two sides are fighting? A: First, I have asked you a question. If there is a battle there will be casualties (deaths), It is possible that every now and then one or the other side looses ground, but we have not been defeated, we will not be defeated God willing and we will eliminate these guys. 6. Q: The government is using artillery to shell civilian areas according to reports, therefore why are you using these artillery? A: Why shouldn't we use it? They are within the civilian areas. The public should make them (rebels) leave the civilian areas. When those guys leave the civilian areas no harm will come to the civilians. We want the civilians to remove them (rebels) telling them to go away from our midst. It is you (rebels) that are causing us all these troubles. It is the rebels who are the cause of all the troubles and not the government because any place from which a bullet is fired (at us) we will bombard it regardless of whoever is there. 7. Q: Even if civilians are there you are going to bombard it? A: Yes we will bombard it! Because the civilians should not be used as Human shields. The civilians should get out of there and we have warned the civilians. We said there is fighting going on in those neighborhoods get out of there while the fighting is going on because one of the sides will be made to give up. The civilians have that warning. 8. Q: Mr. President since you have announced that yours is a government of peace, and that you will save the public, if you now say we are going to burn everyone (who opposes us) what do you think of that? A: It is one side that is initiating the fighting. The instigators will be confronted with fighting. If they hide amongst the civilians there will be collateral damage to the civilians. You need to ask them (rebels) those kinds of questions like why don't you leave the civilian areas and fight the government somewhere else? It is they that you should ask such questions and goodbye!
