Former Chief Justice Bashe Yusuf Ahmed linked an alleged takeover of Somalia’s Supreme Court to a ruling on President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s term, Al Jazeera reported Tuesday.
He said more than 300 security forces were involved, describing the move as a military occupation. Al Jazeera said the court found both unconstitutional: the term extension and, consequently, Mohamud’s presidency.
The report attributes the occupation claim to Ahmed and the constitutional finding to the Supreme Court. It links the allegation about control of the court to a decision concerning the president’s term.
