Somali cleric demands AU leaves?? cleric?? bbc apologists take..HE is a terrorist!..

Islamist opposition leader Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys has called for African Union troops to leave Somalia before he talks to the government.He was addressing hundreds of his supporters in the capital a day after returning from two years in exile.
Mr Aweys, who is on the US terror list, is an influential figure amongst Islamist insurgents attempting to destabilise the fledgling government.His former ally Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed is now president.The two men headed the Union of Islamic Court (UIC), which ruled most of the country for the second half of 2006 before being ousted by Ethiopian forces.They fled to the Eritrean capital Asmara, where they formed the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS).They split after Mr Ahmed - considered the more moderate of the two - agreed to UN-led talks with the government that brought him to power in January 2009 and saw Ethiopia withdraw its troops.The only foreign troops left in the country are about 4,300 AU peacekeepers deployed in the capital, Mogadishu. ..more..http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8016985.stm
