Ethiopian Review

Somalia — The transitional government of Somalia has ignored on Wednesday that Ethiopian troops had entered parties of Hiran region in central Somalia.

Farhan Ali Mohamud, the in information minister of the transitional government of Somalia told Shabelle radio that they are not aware the reports saying that Ethiopian troops had come in Kala-beyrka junction in Hiran region.

“We don not know Ethiopian troops those entered in the Somali territory. But may be that they are tightening the security of their border though there are conflicts in Somalia,” said Farhan Ali Mohamud, the information minister of Somalia.

It is unclear why the Ethiopian troops entered back to Somalia but Analysts say that the statement of the Somali government seems that it is ignoring the entrance of the Ethiopian troops in country.

The statement of the Somali government comes as more Ethiopian troops entered parties of Hiran region specially Jawil village and Kal-beyrka intersection in central Somalia.

On the other hand hundreds of the people are displacing from their houses in Jawil village and Kala-neyrka intersection where reportedly said that the Ethiopian troops had arrived yesterday (Tuesday) in central Somalia.

Reports from Beledweyn town, the regional capital of Hiran region say that many displaced people including women and children reached the town as more others are still fleeing from their homes for the fear of fighting between the Ethiopian troops and the Somali Islamist forces that starts in the region.
