MOGADISHU (Sh. M. Network)-Eritrea's President Issayas Afeworki said
Wednesday that it was not his policy to intervene Somali internal
affairs and added that the current Somali government is not deferent
from the previous governments.
Speaking to the reporters in Asmara, Issayas Afeworki said it was not
his policy and civilization to meddle in Somalia's affairs.
The Somali government accused Eritrea of sending arms shipments to
Somali rebels and called for the International community to stop "the
meddling of Eritrea."
"This government is not different from the Transitional National
Government led by Abdikasim Salad Hassan and the federal government led
by Abdulahi Yusuf Ahmed, they all collapsed because of Ethiopia's
intervention," Afeworki said.

added that the current government is the same as the administrations of
Somaliland and Puntland.
