(SomaliNet) Somali’s interim Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi has accused on Tuesday the Islamic Courts Union of leading the country into bloody war after inviting foreign fighters. Mr. Gedi made the comments in a news conference he has held today in Baidoa city, the base for the transitional government, shortly after his arrival and flew back to Nairobi for the Great Lakes summit. “President Yusuf and I have discussed about the security concerns in the country and we are aware of that the so called Islamists and their allies are still continuing to pour foreign troops in Bur-Hakaba and Dinsor towns of Bay region and that is not secret but it is known by the government, its people and the international community,” Mr. Gedi said while answering to the reporters in Baidoa. Asked about whether his government are worry about possible attack from the Islamic Courts, Gedi said “we have been hearing these days that the ICU threatened that they would isolate Baidoa and attack the government base so as to get rid of it in the next few days and we see these remarks as senseless and day light dream.”
Mr. Gedi was also asked about the today’s warning by the Islamic Court in which they said they would attack the Ethiopian troops if they don’t withdraw from the country within seven days and he replied “if they do hunt Ethiopians they know their country so they should go there but if they have other propose, it would be seen,” Ali Gedi also said that his government would start soon on pushing the IGAD countries to implement the peace keeping mission in Somalia after the UN Security Council adopted the US proposed resolution which lifts partially the 14 years violated arms embargo on Somalia and then authorize deployment of 7,000 regional troops in the country.
