MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's new hardline opposition leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys has vowed to protect aid workers in the Horn of Africa nation where insecurity has stopped many groups from working.
The United Nations said last week that recent killings andkidnappings of aid workers in Somalia threatened to wreck allefforts to end one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.
Aweys, an Islamist cleric who is on U.S. and U.N. lists ofal Qaeda suspects, called on the international community tohelp his Eritrea-based opposition group expel Ethiopian forcessupporting the country's fragile Western-backed government.
Islamist insurgents have waged an Iraq-style insurgency ofroadside bombs, mortar attacks and assassinations against theadministration and its Ethiopian allies since early last year.
But the rebels have blamed government hardliners for a waveof attacks targeting senior local humanitarian staff.
Somali officials deny the accusations.
"We are very grateful to the aid workers who are helpingthe starving Somali community and we strongly condemn those whokill or abduct them," Aweys told Reuters by telephone fromAsmara.
"We shall do what we can to safeguard aid workersespecially in the areas under our control. We shall help,escort and defend them. They are killed by the enemies who thenput the blame on us," the former prison service colonel saidlate on Wednesday.
Somalia's deputy prime minister and information minister,Ahmed Abdisalan, called for unity in the country, which isawash with arms. He said groups opposed to peace were behindthe attacks on humanitarian workers.
"We are saddened by the attacks on foreign and local aidworkers. As long as we are divided and still have arms in ourpossession, groups opposed to peace will take advantage of thechaos to inflict harm on aid workers," he said.
The killings and threats against humanitarian workers haveshocked U.N. agencies and aid groups and forced many toconsider suspending operations in the lawless nation, which hasnot had an effective central government since 1991.
In the latest incident of intimidation, the Elman Peace andHuman Rights group said it had been forced into hiding.
On Thursday, clashes between the rebels and Ethiopianskilled at least five people in the central town of Beledweyne.
More than 8,000 civilians have been killed and 1 millionuprooted since allied Somali-Ethiopian soldiers routed Aweys'sharia courts group from Mogadishu at the start of last year.
Aweys took control of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation ofSomalia (ARS), an umbrella group based in the Eritrean capital,on Tuesday after expelling the moderate Sheikh Sharif Ahmed forsigning a peace deal with the interim government.
On Wednesday, the African Union said a small peace force itsent to Mogadishu was unable to stabilise the situation andurged the United Nations to take over its duties.

The concept in general is good move, a somalillander Tailgating
Dahir Aways is more valid arguement than the usual suspects,
but ther is something that doesn't up, just that little thing.
P.S : i do not think Dahir Aways is that big of a moral authority
that makes one to mask in different identities in order to defeat him.
The man is carrying the rope that he is going to hang himself by himself.
Danger will be how are we going to be safe from the rest of the fraudulants.
This question can may be answered by our wise friend "Wifgarow".

This is quite a move from Mr Barbarossa. I thought he considered all `kaffirs' as fair game. Apparently not. What do you know he wants to protect some infidels. Wise and welcome move. Lets not be cynical about it.
PS: Waar adeer shiikku aayjeel buu ahaan jiraye goormuu noqday halyey Ciidanka oo dgaalkii wacdaro ka dhigay oo billado qaatay? Wallweyn is faaninta waan idinku aqaannay kii ABCda barta aad baroofisoore odhan jirteene immikana ma billaddaad isa siiseen?

Warlord Abdulahi Yusuf supporters are becoming crazier by the day and now they think that occupation forces are real Somalis, somali peace 10 was quotted.
bro you are right walaahi, they think so, but the resistance and the leaders of liberation movements was them already to respond the killing of aidworkers and time came to clear that they have no any clues of that.
Hassan dahir awes has many advisors who pursuaded him to talk to the press that they have no any guilty of that murders.
somalipeace10, bro u know that gabre has trained many somali mercenaries to serve him and to kill aidworkers helping somalis displaced, marka arrinka wa sidaa bro waxan kugu jeclahay mar kaste sidaan isku fikrada ugu nahay waxa ka dhacay our prestigous country.

Laylasamatar aka .....
We know that many people were wrongly branded terror*sts and we all know what happens finally. Nelson Mandela a revered warlord leader is still, even today, on American T list, so that shows you how irrelevant it is. The second point is that in 2006 all the leaders and even American generals met Sgeikh Hasan. SO the only crime of Sheikh Hassan is to defend his religion and county but he has never taken the civil war. Howver, the most TFG warlords have been killing people and destroying Somalia for the last 20 years, it is the warlords who will end up in jail.

Warlord Abdulahi Yusuf supporters are becoming crazier by the day and now they think that occupation forces are real Somalis. The real Somalis want to get their country and independence back from the brutal Ethiopian occupation.I am glad that the resistance leaders reaffirmed the fact that was known to everyone that they protect the aid workers from the occupation forces and the TFg warlords. The occupation supporters who used to insult Sheikh Shrif and now belatedly saying that he is honest man. WE knew all along that all the resistance leaders and UIC leaders are honest men and they Somali interest at heart. The fact that the two Sheikhs have different methods of liberation means they are in conflict, they both wan tto claim their country back from the occupation and the warlords, they both want Ethiopia to go out from our country, they both believe that TFG warlords must be hold accountable for their atrocities.

this man has no chance and he knows it - a man branded terrorist obviously if they get hold of him he will spend the rest of his life in guanto not in power!!!!!

Iam pleased you talking my language and i agree with you that real Somalis reclaim their land that has been invaded and occupied by Ethiopia and its stooges and Insha Allah the end of this terrible and unacceptable occupation is in sight . Yeas , of course what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

nargale,
This is not a laughing matter nor is it a one man show where some old man tells me what to do and what not to do. As a matter of fact this is all about struggle for the liberation of Somali soil from Ethiopian troops and the best way to do it in my view is to fight the enemy to the last standing man in every means available and iam not ruling diplomacy when and where it is essential.

No news under the son, we already know that the islamist leaders and resistance leaders protected and will continue to protect aid workers.In 2006 the aid workers were free to work in all south central Somalia. The Ethiopian occupation and TFG warlords deliberately target the aid workers. Even now, in all the regions where the resistance fighters control the aid workers go about their business freely. The international community and the Somali people welcome the bold step by the resistance fighters and its leaders to vow to protect people who are helping Somali people.Bravo.
