COLUMBUS, Ohio — A lawsuit alleging that a former Somalia military colonel who lives in Ohio had ordered the detention and torture of a human rights advocate in Somalia in 1988 was filed in the wrong country and too long after the alleged abuse, according to a court filing.
Abdi Aden Magan, the former chief of the National Security Service of Somalia, also said he is immune from prosecution.
"So long as Magan acted within his official capacity and on behalf of the Somalian government, the conduct is immune from civil liability," according to Magan's filing in U.S. District Court in Columbus late Friday.
Magan, who has lived in Columbus since 2000, also said he faced his own ordeal in Somalia and had to flee after falling out of favor with the government. His two children were later killed by members of a rival clan in Somalia, Magan said.
In April, Abukar Hassan Ahmed sued Magan over the torture allegations in a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Columbus.
Ahmed, a lawyer now retired in London, says the three months of torture he endured make it painful for him to sit and injured his bladder to the point that he is incontinent.
The suit in U.S. District Court seeks unspecified damages from Magan, who served under Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre as head of a unit dubbed the "Gestapo of Somalia," according to the lawsuit.
Ahmed's claim was filed under the Alien Tort Statute, an 18th-century law that can allow damages for violations of international law, and the Torture Victims Protection Act that permits non-citizens to seek damages for torture and illegal killings abroad if the accused live in or have assets in the U.S.
Earlier this month, in a decision that could affect Magan's case, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block a lawsuit against a former prime minister of Somalia over claims that he oversaw killings and torture in his home country.
The high court said June 1 it will allow lawsuits against Mohamed Ali Samantar to go forward despite his claims of immunity under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
Without referring to that ruling, Magan cited common law and other court cases to argue he could not be sued in the United States for actions he took as a government official.
The lawsuit also said statutes of limitations have expired for filing such a lawsuit, and the passage of time will make it difficult to proceed because of lost paperwork and witnesses' fading memories.
Somalia, an impoverished East African nation of about 10 million people, has not had a functioning government for more than a decade, although the U.S. is backing a transitional government there.
Magan also said the lawsuit could have been brought in Somaliland, an independent country in northern Somalia, or Kenya, any time after Magan fled to Kenya for his own safety in 1991.
"In Kenya I lived openly," Magan said in an attached court filing. "If anyone wanted to find me it would not have been hard to do."

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
