-As
part of his government reshuffle, Somali Prime Minister, Ali Mohammed
Gedi, sacked the country’s army commander-in-chief, Ismail
Qasim Naji, appointing new ambassadors for broad.
In
a meeting chaired by the premier Gedi, Abdulahi Ali Omar was appointed
as the new army commander-in-chief, while the sacked General Naji
was appointed as the Somali ambassador to Oman. Mohammed Ali America
was appointed as the Somali ambassador to Kenya, Hassan Mohammed
Siad Barre as the Somali ambassador to Yemen and Muse Hirsi Fahiye
as the Somali ambassador to Djibouti.
The
appointment decree issued by the prime minister was submitted to
the Somali president Abdullahi Yusuf for approval.
Meanwhile
Madobe Nunow Mohammed, the information minister, has told the press
that the Somali government has called on the international aid agencies
to dispatch an immediate medical aid and other necessary tools to
curb the outbreak of cholera in central and southern provinces of
the country.
Gedi reshuffled his cabinet ministers last weekend, firing three
of his ministers and nominating fresh ones.
Despite
the reformation of the interim government, insecurity has become
a widespread problem for the anarchic society in the Horn of Africa.
On
Friday, a demonstration organized by a group of ten men wearing
turban on their faces, took place on the northern suburb of the
capital. The men called themselves “The Somali People’s
Resistance Movement” claimed they were responsible for the
series of nightly mortar attacks against the Ethiopian and government
military bases in the capital, threatening they would continue until
all Ethiopians leave Somalia.
A man
disguised himself, who gave his name as Abdirizak, delivered a speech
to several hundred demonstrators, warning that the countries intending
to send peacekeepers to Somalia should fathom the series of rocket
and mortar attacks against the Ethiopians in the country as a message.
“If Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya and Malawi send troops to Somalia,
they must know that here will be their graveyard,” he shouted.
Kenyan,
Ugandan and American flags were set on blaze in the demonstration.
