Somalia premier to lose office

Recommended Posts

MOGADISHU (Sunatimes) - Somalia’s president Sharif Sheik Ahmed is due to dispel the current Prime Minister Abdiweli Gaas from office for his participation in the protest against president of Iran AhmediNajad during the 66th general assembly session of the United Nations in New York.

Sources close to presidential office say the move came after President Ahmed angered by the prime minister’s action in which he joined the abandonment unto the speech by the Iranian president who verbally attacked the west.

 

The Iranian leader's comments on Thursday underscored the difficulty the international community would face in establishing a two-state solution to end the Arab-Israeli conflict should Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas succeed in his campaign to win U.N. Security Council support for a sovereign state.

Somalia became the only Islamic state that joined the anti-Iran remonstration as 30 member states vacated the session during AhmediNajad’s speech.

The act by the Somalia’s prime minister could be undermined the country’s relationship with Iran and Turkey those helped Somalia in the wave of the famine crisis.

 

Iran donated Somalia with 30 million dollar in humanitarian assistance feeding the starving displaced people in Mogadishu camps.

Turkey also helped Somalia with 400 million dollar which is much more than what the western nations pledged as humanitarian aid except with three cargo airplanes loaded maize.
