25 April 2009 Mogadishu — The chairman of the
Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia Sheik Hassan
Dahir Aways has welcomed on Friday the decision of the
parliament and called for African Union troops to
leave the country.
Sheik Aways spoke hundreds of people in Mogadishu
and talked about different issues.
He said it was a good decision that the parliament
endorsed the Islamic Sharia but he doubted about the
implementation of it since the United States and
Ethiopia welcomed it.
"It was a good decision that the parliament said we
are implementing Sharia, but the question is that the
Sharia that Ethiopia and the United States supported
is it the correct Sharia," said Dahir Aways.
He called the African Union troops known as AMISOM
in Somalia to leave the country and return to their
countries.
"Once there are foreign troops in your country, you
can not sleep well, you can not say your prayers and
they are like a bacteria in our country and we
recommend to them to go to their countries before we
fight them as we fought the Ethiopian troops who fled
from this country," Aways said.
He also condemned the assassinations in Mogadishu
and said the enemy of the Somali people is behind
them.
