Salah Ismail Nur alias Salah Badbaado who is a former MP
[who recently quit joined insurgent groups] has said senior
American commanders are present in areas that are under the
control of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia [TFG]
to protect their interests in the country.
Salah said these commanders are in Mogadishu to pursue
American interests in Somalia and said there is a
possibility that they might carry out powerful explosion
attacks in civilian areas that are densely populated in
order to make it look like they were carried out by the Al-Shabab
movement.
Badbaado said some of the issues that are ongoing in areas
that are under the control of the TFG are unbearable and
added that foreign commanders arrive in Mogadishu almost
everyday to engage in acts that undermine the teachings of
the Islamic Shari'ah. Badbaado said the President of the TFG
who has earlier on said he will rule the country according
to the Islamic Shari'ah consents to the activities of these
foreign commanders. Salah who is a former member of the
Federal Somalia Parliament also spoke on last year's
explosion attacks in Shamow hotel in Mogadishu and said
investigations into the incident could not go past officials
of the TFG. The former MP said they have questioned the TFG
prime minister and Speaker of Parliament who have failed to
provide them with adequate answers.
"We asked Adan Madobe why those responsible for the
explosion attacks could not be ascertained and he said a
committee has been sent and we do not know what their
findings were. They just remained silent he said. This was
an indication enough to us that the TFG officials were
responsible for it," said Salah Badbaado who confirmed
doubts by many who believe that the TFG was responsible for
the explosion attacks that took place in Shamow hotel.
A committee appointed by the TFG to investigate the
explosion attacks in Shamow hotel has went its separate
ways. The names of the members in this committee have not
been released to the media as the president just made a mere
mention of their existence on the media. The statement by
Salah Badbaado comes at a time when reports on presence of
American organizations in Mogadishu have recently emerged.
Some of the officials in these American organizations are
said to have been accompanying Yusuf Siyad Muhammad
Indhacade [Minister of State for Defence] when he was being
targeted with explosion attacks earlier this month.
