Uganda blasts 'evil' act says Sharif

Mogadishu - The deadly Uganda twin bomb attacks blamed on Somalia's Shebaab insurgents are a "despicable" and "evil" act, the president of Somalia's embattled transitional government said on Monday.

 

"The fact that the victims were enjoying the World Cup final reveals the evil and ugly nature of the perpetrators and the need to uproot from region those who do not value the sanctity of the human life," President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed said in a statement.

The statement from his office said Sharif also condemned "in the strongest terms the despicable terrorist acts that killed over 60 people in Kampala and injured many more".

 

No group claimed responsibility for the carnage but Uganda pointed a finger at the al-Qaeda-inspired Shebaab insurgents in Somalia, where it has thousands of troops deployed as part of an African Union mission.

 

The Shebaab's top leader called for an all-out jihad (holy war) this month against countries contributing to the AU force in Somalia and protecting the Western-backed government there.

 

Sharif, whose administration holds on by a thread and has come under increasing military pressure from the Shebaab in recent weeks, sent his condolences to the relatives of the victims.

 

"This act of terrorism will only strengthen the strong bonds between the peoples of Somalia and Uganda. Neither the region nor the international community will tolerate the spread of insecurity," he said.

 

Uganda is due to host the African Union's annual heads of state summit this month in Kampala and was the first country to contribute troops, in early 2007, to the AU force in Somalia.

 

Earlier this month, the regional organisation Inter-Governmental Authority on Development group vowed to send 2 000 more troops to bring the AU mission to its full strength of 8 100.

Good move by the president this will only strengthen his position and weaken his opponents (namely Al Shabaab).

[General Duke]

^^^Was he not Al Shabaab's leader when the first suicide bomb was exploded in Somalia?

He wont benefit from this, its the end for the delusions of the religious fakers as a whole including him.

[Thierry.]

Saxiib you protest to much, he was the leader of the ICU and now he is the President of Somalia, it is a simple fact the rest of the world has managed to comprehend.

[General Duke]

^^^^You are still living in clan denail my brother. are you telling me that you dont comprehend that as leader of the clan courts he was responsible for the first suicide bombings carried out by his group?

 

That also as president the rise of Al Shabaab is also due to a large part his incopetence. Also the attempt to sell the Somali sea to Kenya also took place in his watch?

[Thierry.]

No denial brother, there has been a transition in Somali politics. You seem to be stuck in 2006.

 

Now if you want I can go through step by step on how all the players have transitioned since then but you are a smart guy.

 

The bottom line is President Sharif renounced violence, went into reconciliation and became president.

 

Your beef is with his clan adeer, once you get over the Southern boogie man things will become clearer.

 

I’m off home.

[General Duke]

^^^Thiery I am disappointed in you. The fact is simple, the fact that we don’t have a state today, and that Sharif hotel is stuck in an area the size of 2km2 is because of the war that he waged against the very state that you claim he “transitioned” into. You are a smart boy and you know that only a year is left and we are in a much worse position today than in 2006. His actions in 2006 are having a blowback on the man he wants to be in 2010. The suicide bombings he sanctioned against the legitimate government is used against him and his interests.

Also the only reason you support Sharif and are unable to see his incompetence even today is because of clan. After all you support a man who has never visited a single village town or city outside of Villa Somalia in the past 1 year and a half.

I am not stuck in the past, even the US paymasters have realized that Sharif and the whole clan were making false claims and promises.

[General Duke]

there has been a transition in Somali politics.

No doubt like Omar Farouk now you have transituioned to supporting foreign troop deployment also. Yes its not 2006, but hypocracy has not changed since then.

[Saalax]

General Duke, you are wrong on this 1 sheikh shariif was never part of al shabab nor was he their leader, take off your clan lenses.

[General Duke]

^^^nonsense, he was the amir of clan courts which included Robow, Cayrow and Godane as soldiers, but what does a secessionist know about anything.

[Hales]

Awoowe 2006 was a quite dire situation for Somalis in the horn, no doubt because Somalia lacked a state.

But Shariif fought against the clanist warlords which divided and kept Somalia in anarchy for 16 years and in turn brought 6 months of peace.

Whereas the refugee crisis, the death of 17,000 deaths were all bought as a result of Yusuf and his alliance with the Ethiopians.

There was no state back then just anarchy.

 

As for Shariif atacking the TNG, Shariif did not order such a attack but was carried out by the Alshabaab youth who made part of the ICU; Shariifs intentions were to negotiate first and foremost.

[General Duke]

^^^Again nonsense, Somalia under Yusuf controlled vast parts of the country. Under Sharif it controls 2km2.

Sharif has humiliated his supporters, he was a Shiekh and now he is asking for Ethiopian troops and his "government" tried to sell the sea..

 

Under Yusuf there was parts of Mogadishu untouched, specially the North.

 

Under Sharif Hotel even the inhabitants of the graves are not safe, from the war.

[Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih]

Good move by the president this will only strengthen his position and weaken his opponents (namely Al Shabaab).

To hell with this incompetent and imbecil Shariif and his TFG entity.

 

 

At least Shabab can fight like real men while this stooge runs to his master Zenawi for protection. Ninkani waa damiirlaawe diintiis iyo dadkiisiiba duunyo iyo magac ku doorsadey

[Amistad]

Shabab fight like real men? LooL, you must be joking, right? Launching attacks, then hiding behind old men, women & children is your idea of fighting like real men? You must be quite a real "Man" yourself.

[Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih]

^At least shabab don't live in Amison Tank like your leader. If he ever gets off the Tank, then he runs off to his masters in Addis.
