Being the chief proponent of and instrument to Sha’ebian made front of destruction, the fundamentalist force led by Sheikh Hassan Daher Aweis proved itself adamant to any other options than war with the latest assaults it launched on Tuesday against the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, said the Ethiopian Ministry of Information.
The ministry said the conflict the extremist force triggered Tuesday evening shows that it is carrying on with its warmongering in stead of the peace options.
This offensive launched by the fundamentalist force against the TFG shows
that the former is escalating the attacks it had committed earlier on Ethiopia,
the ministry said.
The exchange of fire that ensued after the extremist leadership launched the
assault was between the forces of Daher Aweis and the TFG. The ministry said
the baseless claim the fundamentalist leadership is fomenting on Ethiopia
is its usual system to create confusion.
This being the truth, the fundamentalist leadership, true to its mendacity,
is airing fabricated talks making it seem that the skirmish was between its
force and Ethiopia.
Ethiopia has exerted efforts as it will do so for the peaceful resolution
of the problem in Somaliad. There was no involvement of Ethiopia in the skirmish
,it said.
