Somalia's President: Meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a "golden chance"

(Version anglaise seulement)

Somalia's president says meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presents a "golden chance" for his war torn country.

Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed says the meeting this week is a signal that world governments are serious about supporting Somalia.

Ahmed spoke to journalists before leaving the Somali capital for Kenya, where he met with Clinton.

U.S. officials say Clinton offers U.S.-American support, possibly in the form of weapons or military training, during their meeting.
Ahmed's embattled government is fighting Islamist extremists accused of links with al-Qaida who threaten to destabilize the Horn of Africa.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged strong support for Somalia's fragile government Thursday and said that Eritrean interference in the Horn of Africa nation was "unacceptable."
"It is fair to say that President Obama and I want to expand and extend our support for the transitional federal government," Clinton said at a joint news conference with Somali President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed.

She said Eritrea should stop meddling in Somali affairs, according to Reuters.

"We are making it very clear that their actions are unacceptable. We intend to take action if they do not cease," she said of Asmara.
