17, Oct.06 ( Sh.M.Network) Anti- Ethiopia demonstration has taken place in Bur Hakaba about 180 km southwest of the capital Mogadishu.
Several hundreds of Bur Hakaba demonstrators were chanting anti-Ethiopia slogans.
Residents in Bur Hakaba were furious about the recent arrival of Ethiopian and the Somali government forces in their district. The organizers who spoke at the demonstration indicated they opposed Prime Minister Gedi who fired the minister for women and family affairs Fowzia Mohammed Sheik who hails from Bur Hakaba.
Sheik Osman, one of the organizers, has told Shabelle Radio in Mogadishu they objected to Ethiopian forces in Baidoa, accusing the federal government of receiving the Ethiopians in Somalia.“We are also showing our sadness over stripping Fowzia, minister for women and family relations, from her post in the government”, Osman said.
This is the first rally against Ethiopia in Bur Hakaba since Ethiopian and government forces briefly occupied the district, but retreated after local militias loyal to Islamic Courts reportedly fought with the Ethiopians.
Somalia had no central authority since 1991 when tribal warlords ousted former president Mohammed Siyad Barre and the turned on another fighting over control of the country.
