2012-11-14
[Shabelle] Jubaland state has accused Kenyan government of generating a fresh civil war in southern Somalia, where its troops are operating under the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...

Mohamud Ali Shire, the president of Jubaland state announced while giving an interview to shabelle Media Network in Mogadishu that it is unfortunate the Somali, UN and AMISOM panel to be denied access entering inside Kismayo last week.

“Kenyan government forces in Kismayo didn’t give further details why they were not able to allow Somali, UN delation to enter in the city the guarantee their protection last week,” said president of Jubaland Mohamud Ali Shire.

President Shire highlighted that Kenya has a hidden agenda invading in Somalia, particularly lower and Middle region under Jubaland state as it supporting warlords and their militias who are harassing locals.

“We expect the new President of Somalia’s Federal Republic government H.E Hassan Sheikh Mohamud would support the will and interest of the people in Jubland state and help Jubaland state to the reconciliation process and promoting peace in Jubba regions,” he added.

Somali and Kenyan forces captured the commercial port city of Kismayo late September from the Al-Shabaab
