SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, Opposition leader: "Somalis are brave people, they can never tolerate their enemies. As you are well aware, there are many foreign navy warships in our waters, their agenda is not only to fight with pirates, they are there for a hidden agenda. We know their agenda, they want to capture our land on the pretext of piracy." 7. Sheikh Aweys seated 8. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, Opposition leader: "Let me make it clear, we do not want any foreign troops in our land. They do not keep peace, they are invaders, so I call on all foreign troops to leave our country." 9. Wide shot of crowd gathered 10. Armed militiaman STORYLINE: A hardline opposition leader accused of al-Qaida links has ruled out peace talks with the government unless African Union peacekeepers leave Somalia. Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys returned to the Somali capital this week for the first time since 2006. He said the peacekeepers should leave Somalia or face attacks. Swathed in all-white traditional Islamic clothing and wearing a white skull cap, Aweys was addressed hundreds of supporters. Aweys has in the past said that he would not negotiate with the government until Ethiopian troops had left the country. But in January, after the Ethiopians withdrew, he maintained that the government of President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed is allied to Ethiopia. However, he has not called on any group to fight Ahmed's government. The government Ahmed heads only directly controls a few blocks of Mogadishu and the border town of El Berde. But Ahmed has allies among the militias that control much of central and pockets of southern Somalia. Aweys also accused international patrols off the coast of Somalia of using piracy as a pretext to "capture our land." He had been based in Eritrea's capital, Asmara, after Ethiopian troops drove him and his supporters from strongholds in southern Somalia and Mogadishu. Aweys' faction of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia is a member of the Islamic Party, which is opposed to the government of Ahmed. Aweys' arrival in Mogadishu could be an indication he may want to reconcile with Ahmed, because both have been allies in the past and shared leadership positions in an umbrella Islamic group and the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia. Aweys had supported an Iraq-style Islamic insurgency to back a group of Islamists grappling for power in Somalia, which has not had an effective government since 1991 when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. The clan-based leaders then turned on each other, plunging the nation of 7 (m) million into anarchy and chaos. A UN Security Council resolution has designated Aweys a "terrorist, a charge he had denied. Aweys will now operate from Mogadishu but the group will maintain an office in Asmara, said a spokesman for his group.
