Somali president visits Afgoye, towards Mogadishu

Somaliweyn Media Center (SMC) Somalia's transitional federal government president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed ha made a emblematic visit to Afgoye district, some 30km south from the capital Mogadishu on saturday where he was met with a mix of cheers

The president is set to get to the capital Mogadishu urgently as aids told SMC, two days after his forces with Ethiopian troops kicked the powerful Islamists off.

Yusuf said he was mulling a return to Mogadishu. It would mark his first visit since 1978, after he fled as an enemy of the previous regime. "I will go soon," he said.” Why not? It's the capital’.

President Yusuf was met in Afgoye, 20 kilometes (12 miles) outside Mogadishu, by Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi, who drove in from the capital where he had made a triumphant entrance Friday after nine days of fighting; claiming total victory over rival Islamists and saying his Ethiopian military allies would stay there for as long as needed.

Yusuf flew in from Baidoa, seat of the country's weak transition government about 250 kilometres (155 miles) northwest of the capital, on board an Ethiopian military helicopter that set down at a military base on the outskirts of Afgoye.

The two leaders were reported to be in a meeting inside the aircraft, which was surrounded by soldiers.

On Friday in Baidoa, Yusuf defended his government's ability to lead the nation, but said the transitional government would need immediate help from the international community.

He said Somalia needed African Union peacekeepers until the government can rebuild a national army. Another top priority is providing services and assistance to the people, he added.

Mogadishu meanwhile was calm as this Muslim nation prepared to celebrate Saturday's start of the four-day day holy feast of Eid Al-Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice.

The UN-recognized government, organized in 2004, has endured so much derision that many pundits and journalists routinely refer to it as "Somalia's weak transitional government," one government official recently complained, "as if 'weak' had somehow become part of the formal name."

After Islamists rose to power this summer, the transitional government appeared headed toward another failed attempt to install law and order since Somalia slipped into chaos and civil war in 1991.
