Somalia speaker Sheik Adan Mohamed Nur strongly denied the context of recent report by the UN monitoring team which accused Somalia contractors to have links with the Al-Qaida inspired Shebab group.

The speaker said the report by the UN monitoring team lacked credibility with no substantial prove of what it accused against the Somali traders whom the UN contracted for transporting the humanitarian food-aid to the needy.

A draft of the report which was passed to the UN Security Council was recently published by the New York Times.

“I can tell you that this report is completely baseless, we know Sheik Ibrahim Abdulahi had two stores handed over to him by the Somali transitional Government close to our headquarters so that this reports is totally false”, the speaker told reporters in Nairobi.

The speaker said the truth must not be mixed with the baseless information and called on the United Nations to consider its reports with great care by not publishing baseless reports.

He said Sheik Ibrahim and the other accused individuals had been delivering emergency food aid to the Somali society by taking great risks and thay never belong to what the baseless report is accusing against them.

Sheik Adan said the United Nations need more investigations before publishing such reports by reaching relevant people in the ground and local non-governmental organizations. He said the report was collected by irrelevant individuals who do not know the situation in the country.

“I know Sheik Ibrahim personally, he is a decent dude with no links to the political stake holders in the country and had been a trader for 45 years so that I can say this report victimized him”, he said before leaving Nairobi.

Somalia president had earlier defended Abdulkadir Enow, one of the contractors accused by the UN report. The president wrote a letter to the UN secretary general on September defending Mr. Enow as a good person who with his efforts rescued many Somalis
