MOGADISHU (Mareeg)—Somali president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed demanded from the world to defend Somalia what he called invading enemies from outside Somalia.
The president held a press conference in Villa Somalia, Somali presidential palace and said foreigners were fighting along the rebels who are fighting to topple his fragile government.
“I would like to tell the world and the Somali people that there are foreigners in the country who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and want to make Somalia like those countries,” said president Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed.
President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed has welcomed what he called for re-liberation efforts in central Somalia, referring to Ahlu Sunna Waljama’a who is fighting against al-Shabaab in central Somalia towns.
The president also welcomed the decision by IGAD foreign ministers who called for the UN to impose sanctions on Eritrea and block the airports and the ports of areas under the control of Islamist rebels.
