Apr 03, 2011 (BBC Monitoring via COMTEX) -- Somali prime minister has rejected a UN-sponsored conference that is scheduled to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, government owned Radio Mogadishu reported on 3 April 2011. In a special interview with the radio, Muhammad Abdullahi Farmajo said Somalia was "a sovereign state". "It was said that the government should be in transitional period for seven years and nothing was done in those seven years. None of the issues that were supposed to be done during the transitional period were done. The Somali people should now speak out. They should talk about their interests. It is not right that somebody speaks for us," the radio quoted Farmajo as saying. "We know that the Somali people are brave and very patient people who will not accept in any way to be colonized. They will not accept to be dependent [on others]. We as a government, we are encouraging them. The government will not accept that. We will not go to any country that will invite us. This country is a sovereign state that is independent for its aspirations and future," the prime minister added. Farmajo urged the Somali people to "support the government and stand for their interest". He further called on Somalis and local administrations in the country to adopt "one foreign policy" Source: investors.com _______________________________________________________________________________ We welcome the submission of all articles for possible publication on WardheerNews.com
