In Summary
  • Judge rules that property bought by Nairobi couple is protected by Vienna Convention

The Somali Government scored a major victory on Tuesday when it got back its embassy premises sold to a Nairobi investor 15 years ago.
In a landmark judgement, the High Court quashed the sale of the official house and the parcel of land on which it stands.
Mr Justice Mbogholi Msagha consequently reversed the sale and vested it back to the Somali embassy.
From court, the new Somali ambassador to Kenya, Mr Mohammed Ali Nur, lawyer Fred Athuok and embassy officials drove straight to the property in Nairobi’s Spring Valley area.
Standing on a two-and-a-half acre piece of land, the property was acquired by the Somali Government in 1972 and registered at the Lands Ministry in 1973.
When the government of then President Siad Barre collapsed in 1991, civil strife engulfed the country and all the diplomatic ties with foreign governments ceased.
In 1995 a former ambassador to Kenya, Mr Ahmed Sheikh Mohamud(criminals on the run),  sold the residence and plot at Sh15 million to Mr Suleiman Rahemtulla Omar and his wife.
Immediately after the sale witnessed by lawyer Stephen Kibunja, Mr Mohamud fled to the United Kingdom.
Mr Omar transferred the property located at the junction of Brookside Drive and Lower Kabete Road. It is estimated to be worth Sh500 million.
However, the sale was challenged by former embassy officials Musa Hersi Fahiye, who has since died, Mr Mohammed Omar and the Republic of Somalia.
On Tuesday Mr Justice Msagha declared in his judgement: “The sale was fraudulent. The former Ambassador should not have sold the property. I cancel the sale and revert the property to the Republic of Somalia.”
The judge declined to vilify the Kenya Government over the sale because Mr Omar, Mr Mohamud and lawyer Stephen Kibunja who acted for the Embassy ought to have known the property was protected under the Vienna Convention and could not be sold until normalcy returned in Somalia. Nation 


No doubt Somalis across the globe would be celebrating the sense of nationalism that arose from the case won in the Nairobi High Courts today; 07 Dec 2010. The case in mind is about the Somali Embassy in Nairobi that was illegally sold to a Kenyan of Asian origin in the early 1990s by the then Somali Ambassador in Kenya. Tributes kept on pouring to the current Somali Ambassador in Kenya HE Mohamed Ali Ameriko on bringing back a national property and restoring some sense of togetherness on this one case. History would treat him rightly on this success among many that he achieved.
However for every incident, there are implications. Apart from the celebrations and tributes from the Somalis across the globe, this case may well open a Pandora box for all the ill-gotten and stolen properties that belong to the Somali Nation. It will create a strong case for returning all the national properties that belong to the Somali nation irrespective of who took them, when they were taken and where they were taken to.

Where and when do we start, you may well ask. I wouldn’t put any timeline or place on this issue. What I would rather be appreciated is the fact we need to understand what is sacred and identified as national property. Hardworking Somali citizens have paid millions in the past, only to find their hard earned money have been stashed away in foreign countries. I would hope that we continue to push for national money stashed away in foreign accounts be returned to their rightful people-the Somali people.

Our national air space has been, for the last 20 years, the property of foreign NGOs based in Nairobi who have accumulated millions of dollars in the form of traffic fees from international and local airlines because there was ‘no government’ in Somalia.

Our national coastline has been, for the last 20 years, a place to dump toxic waste by unknown and known individuals and countries. Our seashores has become a free for all fishing ground by small and big fishing companies.

Often overlooked national property that is used and abused is the extravagant lifestyles of our self-styled MPs/Ministers/PM/President who often gain many airmiles while that money is national property that could be utilized to feed the thousands who are faced with starvation and daily bombardments or shootings from the warring parties.

In conclusion, my fellow citizens, legally and morally the nation’s resources are for all and not for any particular person. Lets all stand for what is rightly ours and protect it as did the Somali Ambassador in Kenya today.

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.
