Do
you want to free Western hostages in Somalia? Contact Eritrea tyrant
Isias Afewarki!
According to a Somali website, mareeg.com, that is
exactly what France did back in July in its attempt to free two
French hostages kidnapped at gun point from their hotel in Mogadishu
and facing trial under Sharia law since. At the time Afewarki
reportedly tried but failed because Afewarki's man in Mogadishu,
Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, was unable to deliver on matters out of
his control- Al Shabab had them!
 Sheik
Aweys, Hizbul Islam leader(File) could not deliver then, can he
deliver today!
Yesterday,
there were media reports that the UN Security Council has delayed
voting on sanctions against Eritrea tyrant until Wednesday at the
request of France due to some unresolved French hostage issues. What
is this hostage issue all about? France contacting Eritrea tyrant
again for help with its two citizens held captive by Somali
insurgents in exchange for a milder sanction?
For
your reference below is mareeg's report of July:

the two French hostages kidnapped by Somali gunmen on Tuesday from
their Hotel in Mogadishu, sources said on Sunday.

Islam.

has requested from Eritrea to pressure Islamist rebels to free the
men.

Sources close to Sheik Aweys say he told Eritrea’s President
Issaias Efewerki that the French men were not in his groups’
hands any longer since al Shabaab took it, but Efwerki said that he
would stop his support to the group if they fail to free the French
men.
A
Spokesmen for al Shabaab said on Saturday that they would trail the
two French agents under Sharia ,but confirmed reports suggest that
al Shabaab took the French men to Lower Jubba region in southern
Somalia.
