Castro Posted June 1, 2007 Shabelle Media Network (Mogadishu) NEWS 31 May 2007 Posted to the web 31 May 2007 By Aweys Osman Yusuf Mogadishu Somalia's interim cabinet ministers issued statements Thursday preventing a group of Somali women who were supposed to fly to Italy after they were invited by the Italian government, according to Somalia ministers. Hassan Abshir Afrah, the minister of marine resources, who chaired the cabinet meeting in Mogadishu on Thursday, said the government was not notified that 100 Somali women have been invited by the Italian government. "The Somali ministers unanimously agreed to intercept these women from traveling to Italy because we have not been informed," he said. The minister alleged that the Somali transitional government should have been consulted with over the trip. The ministers have, on the other hand, discussed the government budget for the next month. Afrah said the government would need to spend around 85 Billion Somalia Shillings worth $5 million USD. The Somali government might postpone the reconciliation conference which is supposed to take place in the capital on 16 June due to lack of sufficient funding, according to Somalia interior minister, Gamo Dheere. The ministers finally focused on the media and how it would operate freely in the country. The transitional government has been famous for pressing the local media. Several prominent FM stations have been closed down in the past. Most of them have been permitted to go on air again. All Africa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
