UN Representative Ahmad Ould Abdalla Defends Sheikh Sharif’s Corruption

Nairobi, Kenya, March 13, 2010 (SL Times) – The UN Secretary General’s representative to Somalia, Mr Ahmad Ould Abdalla, defended Sheikh Sharif’s government from charges of widespread corruption.
Mr Ahmad Ould Abdalla was reacting to a report by the UN Security Council which showed that Sheikh Sharif’s government as well as Sheikh Sharif himself have participated in fraudulent schemes that diverted food aid from the needy people of Somalia.
Ahmad Ould Abdalla told the BBC Somali Service (March 11, 2010), instead of focusing on its report, the Security Council should focus on supporting the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia.
