Speaking to the reporters in Asmara, Issayas Afeworki said it was not his policy and civilization to meddle in Somalia’s affairs. 

The Somali government accused Eritrea of sending arms shipments to Somali rebels and called for the International community to stop “the meddling of Eritrea.” 

Afawerki “Puntland iyo Somaliland may aqonsadaan inta Shariif aqoonsi siin lahayen   

“This government is not different from the Transitional National Government led by Abdikasim Salad Hassan and the federal government led by Abdulahi Yusuf Ahmed, they all collapsed because of Ethiopia’s intervention,” Afeworki said.  

 He said that his government did not recognize the Somali government and added that the current government is the same as the administrations of Somaliland and Puntland.
