Elders warn overlooking expansionist moves will have grave consequence
Jijiga - Overlooking the war declared by the Somali expansionists will result in heavy losses, Somali State elders awarned.
Residents of Awbere woreda, Sultan Ali Ilegod and Ahmed Osman Dirir, told WIC yesterday that turning a blind eye to the jihadists’s expansionist drive could have damaging consequences on Somali State.
The elders noted that waiting for the jihadist army to march forward will, as in the past, only expose the inhabitants of the state to massacre and exile, and endanger the well-being of the country.
Fetiya Jamah Mussie and Hussen Gures Egen, residents of the woreda, said the leaders of the Union of Islamic Courts were the military leaders of Siad Barre’s army who three decades ago invaded the country with an illusion of forming the “Great Somalia,” and added that the war they are trying to foment against Ethiopia in the guise of religion should therefore be put out before it spreads as the brunt of the last war still hurts the country.
The elders stated that the anti-peace elements who are serving the invaders are their arch foes and reaffirmed their support to the government vowing to stand along its side to repulse the invaders.
They further pointed out that the decision of some opposition political parties to neutrally observe the invasion proves their indifference to the sovereignty of the country and the safety of citizens.
Ensuring the implementation of the decision of the House of Peoples Representatives regarding the jihadists is the responsibility of all citizens as it is a matter of safeguarding the sovereignty of the country, the Harari State Islamic Affairs Supreme Council stressed.
Supreme Council Chairman Sheik Ibrahim Abdurahman said the Muslim community will stand alongside the government when all the peaceful options of solving the crisis are exhausted because safeguarding the sovereignty of the country and its border is the duty and responsibility of every citizen.
National sovereignty is indeed a matter of existence, Sheik Ibrahim said, adding that the stand of some of the political parties in this respect was a historic mistake.
Peace and national sovereignty precede everything, the chairman said, calling on the Muslim community to strive for the realization of the decision.
Similarly, members of the Amhara Nation Democratic Movement (ANDM) in Gambella State expressed their support for the decision to defend the jihadist invasion against the country.
