At the gathering, some religious leaders, including Sheik Ibrahim Adam and Sheik Sharif Sheik Hussein spoke to the crowd telling them of their opposition to the newly formed government.

 Sheik Ibrahim told the crowd that among the reasons they oppose the new formed government are the fact that it has been established based on the unfair formula of 4.5 and fact that it will be based on a constitution written by human beings.

Sheik Ibrahim added that the Somali people will not accept any constitution that is not based on the Islamic Sharia. This anti-government demonstration comes after several pro-government demonstrations have taken place in several cities of Somalia.
