Mogadishu, May 2, 2003 (Arab News) - The prime minister of Somalia’s Transitional National Government (TNG), Hassan Abshir Farah, has denied that there is division within the TNG, newspaper reports said. However, he admitted that there are minor differences between himself and TNG President Abdi Qassim Salad Hassan.
It was reported that differences erupted when the premier decided to dismiss certain Cabinet ministers, and the president refused to accept the move. The ministers in question are reported to be Finance Minister Husain Mahmoud Sheikh Hussein, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Abdikarim Ahmad Ali and Education Minister Hassan Muhammad Jumbur. All three are seen as loyalists of the TNG president.
"These are differences of opinion on minor issues which we are now in the process of resolving. This is not something that will lead to a split within the TNG at this stage. We are engaged in consultations and will resolve the matter soon," Abshir was quoted as saying.
