Mogadishu 03, Jan.07 ( Sh.M.Network) -The fleeing Islamist spokesperson, Abdirahim Ali Mudey, who spoke to Shabelle Radio in Mogadishu, said they did not need the amnesty extended to them by the Somali government. Islamists' whereabouts Sheikh Abdirahim Muddey Mudey told Shabelle Radio by the Phone that Islamists senior officials were in Somalia and being defended by their tribesmen. "We did not go beyond our country. We will keep fighting until all Ethiopian troops leave our country", he said. Asked if they would give up their ambition of fighting and join the Somali government, he said they were ready to talk with government officials if the Ethiopian troops leave Somalia. Mudey refused to say where exactly they are in the country, he simply said, "I can not say where we are but we are in Somalia and we are not afraid any more", he said, adding that senior Islamists like Sheik sharif and Sheik Aweys are also in the country. He criticized Hussein Aideed, Smalia's internal affairs minister, for urging the Somali people to accept that Somalia and Ethiopia should be combined as one nation and be united with one passport. "I heard the news that Aideed said Somalia and Ethiopia should be one country. That is irresponsibility of him and his remarks disappoint many Somali citizens", he said. Islamists fled their last stronghold on mid night January 1st after Ethiopian and government troops supported by tanks and MIG fighter jets entered the port city of Kismayu and chased the remnants of Islamists in the area. Mudey said, "If the world thinks we are dead, they should know we are alive and will continue the jihad against the infidels in our country". He said they would never yield to forgiveness of the transitional government. Peacekeepers Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni will meet with Ethiopian premier Males Zenawi over the peacekeeping mission in Somalia. Uganda was the first country that pledged it would send contingents of its military forces to Somalia as peacekeepers. United Nations Security Council approved peacekeepers to be deployed in Somalia in mid November last year. Ethiopian premier, who spoke in Addis Ababa yesterday, said the Ethiopian troops in Somalia would be withdrawn in a few weeks. http://www.shabelle.net/news/ne1988.htm
