Mogadishu (RBC) Somali Government officially wrote to African Union and the Sierra Leone government as part of its peacekeeping mission in Somalia and told to halt the rotation of Sierra Leone army operating in Somalia in a bid to minimize the risk of Ebola to this country, Somalia’s Parliament Speaker Mohamed Osman Jawari said.
The Speaker clearly mentioned that Somali officials do not want see any officials from the Ebola-hit nations in West Africa including Sierra Leone visiting Somalia as far as the Ebola outbreak is there.
“To avoid the potential risk of transporting Ebola into our country, we have raised our concern to African Union and the government of Sierra Leone. We have written officially to these entities and told them to stop troops rotation and the possible visit by any individual from there.” Speaker Jawari said during his briefing to the parliament on Wednesday.
“We are driven by the fact that our people are very vulnerable to the spread of the such disease and we need to stand for the well being of our citizens, so that is why we need to repeat such calls.” he added.
On Wednesday, Somalia’s Federal Parliament raised the issue of Ebola Outbreak during the parliament session in which MPs suggested to launch a tough measures to tighten the country’s borders so that citizens from Ebola-hit countries could not cross into Somalia.

Ebola is very dangerous this is a good thing the government of Somalia did
Ebola is a danger to the entire region even for Kenya Ethiopia Somaliland Jabuuti and Eritrea
Original dervish technically they can defy the rule of the government but i dont think they will do that
Thats why territorial sovereignty is so important and Somalia lacks that

They can't fly whomever they want.
AU do not control the airport, they guard it. MI7 nigga was arrested at the airport for trying to sneak in without official papers last year by a NISA colonel. He was let go and put back on the plane to Heathrow, after UK gov called Bashir Gobe.
You cant just come and do whatever you want despite what you read in the media.
