N.O.R.F Posted January 30, 2008 Sounds as though Nur Cadde has the right intentions and the Ethios don't like it. What say the TFG boys and girls? Somalia: Ethiopian Generals Complain About New PM Email This Page Print This Page Comment on this article View comments Visit The Publisher's Site Garowe Online (Garowe) 29 January 2008 Posted to the web 29 January 2008 Ethiopia's top military commanders serving in Somalia have dispatched a letter to the country's interim president, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, expressing their dissatisfaction with the policies of new Prime Minister Nur "Adde" Hassan Hussein, confidential sources tell Garowe Online. The exact contents of the letter have not been independently verified yet, but government sources in Mogadishu and Baidoa privately confirmed the existence of the letter. PM Nur Adde [wearing red tie] arrives in Mogadishu, Jan. 20/GO The Ethiopian generals expressed their displeasure with the way Prime Minister Nur Adde is running his new government, said reliable sources with first-hand knowledge of the letter. The letter was also sent to Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, President Yusuf's main backer. The generals' central argument in the letter is that the Prime Minister makes decisions without consulting Ethiopian army commanders based in the capital Mogadishu, the sources said. Prime Minister Nur Adde is "not as expected" and that the army commanders "cannot work with him," the Ethiopian commanders complained. Relevant Links East Africa Arms and Military Affairs Conflict, Peace and Security Ethiopia Somalia Sources close to the Prime Minister confirmed to Garowe Online that he is aware of the letter, but declined further comment concerning its exact contents. Since his arrival in Mogadishu last week, Prime Minister Nur Adde has refused to meet with top Ethiopian commander Gen. Gabre, according to a Cabinet source who did not wish to be named in print. Ethiopian Prime Minister Zenawi is largely believed to have personally hand-picked former Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi, who resigned last October under Ethiopian pressure following a serious rift with President Yusuf. http://allafrica.com/stories/200801290928.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted January 30, 2008 ^Not that i consider the TFG the best national intrest-guard, Nor do i believe PM Nur Cade would get the full support of the people of Mogadishu in a bid to counter-weight and dissatisfy the Ethiopian generals, but woulden't you worry as much( if not more) about the satisfaction both Hargeisa/Bosaso-boys provide the Ethiopian generals? given that one cares genuinely about the Somali people.? Nur Cade is not dull enough to oversee the fact that Both Hargeisa and Bosaso administrations support or/and almost rejoice the presence of the Ethiopian generals in his(my) birth place , namely Mogadishu. A Hargeisa boy's sentiment of dislike for the Ethiopian presence in our country specially in Mogadishu is something to be delightful of, yet ironically for the wrong reasons.
