"What is even more shameful is that the UN sponsored government in Somalia is led by a President who openly admits he will shell civilian neighbourhoods. The President of the Transitional Federal Government's statement on March 21, 2007 during a Voice of America Somali Service interview in which he stated: "Yes we will bombard civilian neighborhoods." "..… Any place from which a bullet is fired [at us] we will bombard it regardless of whoever is there." This is the man the US government and thus the UN are supporting in Somalia today."
