From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salad Ali Jelle is the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of the Republic of Somalia. He was a political figure in the War in Somalia (2006–present) fought between the TFG and its ally Ethiopia against the Islamic Courts Union (ICU).
On November 30, 2006, Salad Ali Jelle announced that three car bombs had exploded at police checkpoints around the interim capital of Baidoa.[1] On December 1, he announced a group of militia had defected from the ICU to join TFG forces, marking the reversal of the trend of defections to the Islamic Courts.[2]
On December 20, 2006, he announced heavy fighting had broken out around Baidoa between the forces of the Islamic Courts Union and those of the TFG and Ethiopia.[3]
On January 5, 2007, after the victory over the ICU and the Fall of Mogadishu, Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Ghedi, accompanied by Salad Ali Jelle, held a review of the former troops of the government who took part in the campaign to retake the capital. Their speeches relayed the urgency for a program of Disarmament in Somalia (see Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration).[4]
