Woyanne general slaps Somali President twice on the face

(Press TV) – General Gabre Heard, who is in charge of Woyanne occupation forces in Somalia, has slapped Somalia’s interim President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed twice on the face, officials say.

The row between President Yusuf Ahmed and Gen. Gabre started after the president accused the army general of disobeying the orders given by the Somali government, a Somali official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Press TV correspondent in Mogadishu.

Irked by the Somali President’s remarks, who accused the Ethiopian Woyanne troops of firing artillery at the Presidential Palace and the government bases, the army general slapped the Somali president on the face.

The angry general then swore that he would kill the president and left the room.

Following the quarrel, the president called AMISON peace keeping troops for security.

There is speculation that a conflict could arise between the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISON) and Ethiopian Woyanne troops.

Gen. Gabre has his supporters in the government, including Mogadishu Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeeb and head of the security agency Mohamed Warsamme Darwiish.
