Eng. Idiris Hassan Farah, one of the Somali educators in Finland said in an interview with Shabelle radio that there will no be any solution for a bombardment conducted in Somalia that causes more casualties of deaths and injuries.

"Any kind of bombardment or airstrike in Somalia that conducts the warplanes of the US government will not bring any solution or benefits for Somalia. It will only be great problems and unfortunate for the Somalis about what the Americans are thinking," said eng. Idiris

The officials said that the US will not provide to Somalia more than those they supported to the transitional government of Somali led by the president Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed reiterating that they will only cause other great dangers to the Somali people.

The Somali educators lastly called for the Somalis to come together and talk to reach peace agreement to end the conflict between those who are fighting saying that more people will die if the fighting continues further in Somalia.
