[Hiiraan boy]

Mogadishu 07, March.07 ( Sh.M.Network) The Somali government pointed the conference held by Haiwiye community in the Somali capital Mogadishu on Tuesday as senseless and unfruitful.

Somalia’s deputy defense secretary, Salad Ali Jelle, who hails from Hawiye tribe, has told Shabelle by phone in Mogadishu that the conference made no sense. “If the Hawiye traditional elders met, it is up to them. Now there is a national government which was formed on the basis of tribes. So they have to contact with the senior heads of the government if Hawiye had complaints,” he said.

He pointed out that the political affairs of the country remains with the transitional government not with any particular tribe or a clan.

The minister spoke after Hawiye Community Conference took place in the capital on Tuesday, producing a press statement in which the tribe expressed its unhappiness with the way the government was handling the political organisms in the country.

Meanwhile, Somali warlord, Muse Sudi Yalahow, who also hails from Hawiye tribe, said the tribe could not administer the capital alone for the past 16 years.

“Now it is time for Hawiye to give their support to the transitional government because for 16 years we could not agree on one thing, instead we killed one another,” Sudi told the press yesterday while he was at Mogadishu airport welcoming the Ugandan troops arriving in.
