MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somalia’s authorities was concerned in a failed weapons smuggling scheme that resulted in two truckloads of arms ending up within the arms of residents in Abudwaq city, former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed stated on Saturday.
It was stunning that authorities officers had been concerned within the scandal, on condition that the current lifting of UN arms embargo required authorities to limit the circulation of arms into civilian arms, he added.
In a blistering assault on the present administration, Sharif accused authorities of involvement within the commerce of Khat drug that continues to impede the progress of the nation’s armed forces, days after a distinguished journalist had been arrested over related feedback.
The journalist shouldn’t have been arrested for a real remark, the entire public shares the view, the previous president added, condemning authorities’s crackdown on impartial media.
In a press convention held in Mogadishu, Sharif described ongoing plans geared toward shaking up the military and recruiting troopers supposed for use for private political motives, including that Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s authorities treads a path that displays on his leniency to a one-man rule, which resembles the iron-fisted and authoritarian reign of late President Mohamed Siad Barre.
The plans will additional weaken the Somali military and embolden Al-Shabaab insurgents, who are actually stronger than ever because the exit of African Union troops attracts close to, Sharif advised reporters.
