"My government has the right to defend itself" said the Somali TNG President

Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Colonel Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, Somali TNG president, came back to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from London where he was for healthy reasons. Ethiopian government led by dictator Meles Zanawi which has thousands of imperial troops in Somalia expect report from the president, Col. Yusuf. 

It has been two months since the fall of Mogadishu into the hands of Ethiopian troops and daily atrocious actions take place in almost everywhere Ethiopian troops are present. They (Ethiopian troops) shell, terrorize, rape, rob, and commit inconceivable actions in the capital of Somalia, Mogadishu. 

When the president is asked why Ethiopian/Puntlander are shelling or committing these crimes, he said, "Government Troops (Ethiopian and Puntlanders) have the right to defend themselves and respond attacks coming from/among the people..." The Colonel forgot that he is the perpetrator. He rules the country by decree and equality among the Somalis is not in his vocabulary. 

Colonel Yusuf, who himself is a Puntlander, gets some finance from Puntland. This is another way of saying Puntland takes part terrorizing people in Mogadishu.

People are moving out of Mogadishu because of the atrocities and indiscriminate shelling coming from Puntland/Ethiopian troops.      

The martial law relegated the whole parliament members to mere spectators. The ministers are not respected in their departments. The institution built in Nairobi (Somali Parliament) is crippled. The Colonel lacks trust on any member outside his field of trust. What a waste of money and effort!
