MOGADISHU, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) – Somali president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed onWednesday vowed to rid the war-torn country of Al- Qaeda, days after the local militantgroup said it merged with the global Jihadist network.
Thousands of people held rally in the Somali capital Mogadishu to denounce the unionbetween Al-Shabaab group and Al-Qaeda network announced last week in a joint videoaddress by leaders of both militant groups.
People at the rally carried posters and placards with slogans condemning the groupsand pledging to defend the country from the rebel fighters.
Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed speaking to thousands of Mogadishu’sresidents said his government will not allow the radical group from remaining in thecountry.
“First and far most we rely on Allah then on our people, and soldiers we will count onour brothers and friends who like our well-being to fight them (Al-Qaeda) and cleanseAl-Qaeda from our country Somalia,” the Somali president told flag waving crowds.
The resident chanted anti-Al-Qaeda slogans at the rally where top government officialsattended and spoke about their determination to fight the radical group of Al-Shabaab.
Somali leader said the government recognizes Al-Shabaab as the Al-Qaeda and willstep up its campaign against the group which controls much of south and center ofSomalia.
“From today onwards there is not such thing as Al-Shabaab but just Al-Qaeda. Thathas been a strategy used by Al-Qaeda. As you know Al-Qaeda surveyed this countryduring the 1990s but they saw that this country will never accept Al-Qaeda,” Somalileader said.
Somali President reiterated his government’s request for the lifting of UN arms embargoimposed on Somalia during the early 1990′s to curb the follow of arms into the war-ravaged country.
The call came after the announcement by Al-Qaeda last week that the local Al-Shabaab movement was joining forces with the terror network.
