NAIROBI | Thu Aug 6, 2009 10:12am EDT

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged strong support for Somalia's fragile government Thursday and said that Eritrean interference in the Horn of Africa nation was "unacceptable."

"It is fair to say that President Obama and I want to expand and extend our support for the transitional federal government," Clinton said at a joint news conference with Somali President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed.

She said Eritrea should stop meddling in Somali affairs.

"We are making it very clear that their actions are unacceptable. We intend to take action if they do not cease," she said of Asmara.
