Addis
Ababa, June 7 (ENA)--Osman Hassan Ali "Atto" of Somalia on Saturday
accused the Eritrean government of supplying weapons to Somali’s Transitional
National Government (TNG) in a bid to fuel hostilities there, AFP said.
"Eritrea
is supplying an assortment of weapons that would ignite renewed bloodshed in
Somalia, and this has already hampered efforts for reconciliation" Atto
told AFP.
Atto
accused Eritrea of continuing to remain a troublemaker in Somalia by ignoring UN
Security Council resolution 733 of 1992,which placed an embargo on the supply of
weapons to the war-devastated horn of African nation.
The
local Mogadishu newspaper, Banadir, reported on Saturday that consignment of
weapons from Eritrea had arrived at Ballidogle airport, south west of Mogadishu.
Quoting
witnesses, the paper said the weapons were later taken to Mogadishu in dozens of
armed wagons.
According
to Atto, Eritrea has been involved in Somalia’s internal politics since Asmara
went to war with Ethiopia in May 1998.
