A Hawiye clan elder has accused the Somali government of committing genocide despite signing a peace deal with some opposition figures.
Ahmed Dirie Ali who is also Spokesman of the Hawiye Traditional Council said on Tuesday 'the man who is called the Somali President” is committing genocide in Mogadishu.
“They hide themselves behind the Ethiopians” after committing such a crime, said Dirie Ali in a phone conversation with the Press TV correspondent in South Mogadishu.
“The world must see what the so-called Somali government is doing,” he added.
Somali government representatives and a number of opposition figures formally signed a UN-sponsored peace deal in Djibouti on Monday.
The pact between the Eritrea-based opposition Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS) and the government calls for continued dialogue between the parties and advises against any 'inflammatory statements'.
It also condemned 'the perpetrators as well as those who mastermind and fund violence which targets innocent people, including killings, indiscriminate shelling, looting, raping and acts of piracy'.
