In statements exclusive to Al-Jazeera during his visit to Djibouti, the Somali president was deeply critical of some Arab countries, including Qatar, saying that they work against the interim government.Begin President Yusuf recording, in Somali dialect with voice-over Arabic translation he said: I want to tell the government of Qatar that the day will come when the Arab people hold accountable all those who helped destabilize Somalia.“The Qatari Government can rectify its policies towards us, and his includes the hostile rhetoric used in its media outlets, starting with Al-Jazeera” Yusuf irately said. Speaking of Ethiopian troop’s controversial arrival in Somalia president Yusuf has declared that his government’s consent is the cause of the Ethiopian’s arrival.“Ethiopian forces came to Somalia through an agreement with the interim government, and they will leave the country also through an agreement” he emphasized “As far as the interim government is concerned, there are no obstacles to the implementation of the Djibouti agreement, for we are committed to it, and so is the opposition, which - with a few exceptions that still reject the agreement - announced that it would honour the agreement and wants peace in the country” he lastly said.Ethiopian troops have been in Somalia for 18 months since helping the government oust the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) that ruled much of Somalia in 2006. The country has experienced almost constant civil conflict since the collapse of Mohamed Siad Barre's regime in January 1991. Last week's deal was signed by a top Islamist leader, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, and Prime Minister Nur Adde, but another Islamist leader has promised to continue fighting. The three-month ceasefire provides for Ethiopian troops to leave the country within 120 days.

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
