In
a press conference held in Mogadishu, the Islamic Courts Security
Council head Sheik Yusuf Indho-adde reiterated that unverified number
of Ethiopian troops came in Somalia.
Indho-adde
said it’s an aggression of Ethiopia that is accustomed to
coming in and out of Somalia when it desires.
“We
are not going to invade a neighboring country. We are asking the
world to keep a breast of Ethiopia’s illegal movement in Somalia”,
said Indho-adde, inciting the UN and Arab League to try to halt
Ethiopia’s intervention in Somalia.
Union

demonstrations against them took place.
The
Islamists are reported to fire shots after the demonstration turned
out violent.

At least two persons are reported killed in the riot.

security council head mentioned about 50-100 Ethiopian armored vehicles
had entered Somalia from Gedo region, southern Somalia, where Somalia
borders Ethiopia, adding the Ethiopian troops went straight to Baidoa,
the temporary base for Somalia’s virtually shaky government
to shield interim president Abdulahi Yusuf’s government.
Reliable
sources in Bardalle district of Bay region told Shabelle radio in
Mogadishu that about 50 Ethiopian battlewagons had arrived in Baidoa.
