| 2007-04-09 |
| (SomaliNet) SomaliÂ’s president Abdulahi Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi have today returned to the capital amid tightened security after meeting with the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer and the US ambassador to Kenya Michel Renerberger in Baidoa over the crisis. President Yusuf and premier Gedi with their delegates have reached the capital today by road. They were heavily guarded by Ethiopian forces who followed them from Baidoa, 240km southwest of the Somalia capital. Heavily armed Ethiopian forces were deployed on many key roads in the capital like KM4 roundabout and the main road to the presidential palace, stopping all cars briefly where the government officials passed. |
