Mogadishu 15, June.07 (Sh.M.Network) Osman Ali Hassan Atto, a member of Somalia’s transitional parliament has accused Ethiopian [Woyanne] forces who searched his home in Mogadishu of robbing him around four thousand US Dollars.

In an exclusive interview with Shabelle Radio, Mr. Atto has confessed that the Ethiopian [Woyanne] forces found weapons in his house but he angrily accused the troops of taking other valuable items from his house including a large sum of Money.

“It is true that Ethiopian [Woyanne] troops found weapons in my house during their search but they also took money in cash such as 369,000 US dollars, four thousands Emirates Dirham, a large number of jewelry for my wife, valuable watches of mine and Thuraya satellite phones and they tore all my bags” said Atto in his interview with Shabelle Radio.

The Somali MP pointed out that all those incidents are violations against his status of being a member of Somali parliament and also against his Somali citizenship and the charter of the Somali transitional government.

Osman Ali Atto called the presence of Ethiopian [Woyanne] troops in Somalia as against the wishes of the Somali people.

The fury accusations of this MP came after the transitional federal government of Somalia displayed to the journalists a huge cache of weapons seized during a joint army search operation by its forces and their Ethiopian allies.
