Abdirahman Dinari, the government spokesman said the government could not accept conditions in which the European Union said it would not help finance the Somali transitional government unless it reaches out to the defeated Union of Islamists and other parties for peace and a unity government. Dinari told reporters in Mogadishu his government was very disappointed with the conditional outcome of the EU meeting in Brussels for Somalia. “The federal government expected that EU would take positive roles in aiding Somalia government without provisos”, he said. “We are telling the European Union that the Somali government could do without the conditional aid, and the EU’s stance towards helping the country is a violation to the sovereignty of Somalia”.
Dinari said the Somali government endorses reconciliations but it can not accept to be told whom the government has to reconcile with. The EU aid and development Commissioner Louis Michel warned that the country might slide back to civil war, citing the recent insurgent attacks at the presidential palace in Mogadishu. “A broad-based government "is the only way to politically stabilize Somalia, therefore I have established a clear link between financing the stabilization force and the opening to dialogue and reconciliation process," The EU financial aid for the African peacekeepers to Somalia.
