| 2008-08-03 |
| The Cultural and Unity Council of the Hawiye clan has accused the President of the Transitional Federal Government [TRG], Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmad, of being opposed to the peace and reconciliation efforts of Prime Minister No Hasan Hussein's administration. The political spokesman of the Council, Abdullahi Hasan (bdullahi Dhere)who contacted Mareeg online, accused the president of the TFG, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmad, of being opposed to the stability of the central and southern regions of Somalia and the efforts of the transitional government to pacify the regions, adding that the president was only interested in promoting the interests of the regions where he comes from. The remarks by the Hawiye clan council come in the wake of refusal by the president to put his signature to a memorandum issued by the prime minister's office in which Muhammad Omar Habeb aka Muhammad Dheere (capital Mayor) was sacked as the governor of Banadir Region. |
