Chairman of the Economic Committee of Somaliland Parliament, Muhammad Haji Mohamoud |
The British educated Mr Muhammad Haji Mohamoud emphasized that Somalilanders will pursue in courts whoever committed crimes against them, and that included Somalia’s prime minister himself, Abdi Farah Shirdon, who was known for using his connections to the former dictatorial regime to extort money and property from Somalilanders in Berbera.
Mohammed Haji Mohamoud added that the case against Gen. Muhammad Ali Samatar is solid and that the General himself admitted that he committed those crimes.
It is widely believed that the capital used by Somalia’s current Prime Minister, Abdi Farah Shirdon, to engage in business activities once the former dictatorship collapsed, was derived from the money he used to extort and the properties he used to confiscate from people when he was in Berbera.
