Wasaaradda Cadaaladda oo ka jawaabtay khubarada Qaramada Midoobey
War-saxaafadeed kasoo baxay Wasaaradda Cadaaladda iyo Arrimaha Dastuurka ayaa lagu sheegay in khubarada Qaramada Midoobey baahiyeen warbixintooda iyaga oo aan marka hore dowladda ka dalban jawaab rasmi ah, tallaabadaasi oo ay Wasaaraddu ku tilmaantay mid ka hor imaanaysa habraacyada shaqo ee khubarada madax-bannaan ee Golaha Xuquuqul Insaanka QM. Wasaaraddu waxay sheegtay inay qiimeyso doorka hay'adaha xuquuqul insaanka ee Qaramada Midoobey.
Xil ka qaadistii 4-tii November iyo go'aankii Maxkamadda Sare
Xiisadda ayaa salka ku haysa xil ka qaadistii 4-tii November lagu sameeyay Baashe Yuusuf Axmed, xilli Maxkamadda Sare ay gacanta ku haysay dacwad dastuuri ah oo la xiriirtay muddo xileedka Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud. Maxkamaddu waxay soo saartay go'aan ay ku burisay wax-ka-beddelkii dastuurka ee Madaxweynaha loogu kordhiyay muddo hal sano ah, iyadoo sidoo kale amartay in doorashooyinka federaalka lagu qabto muddo 90 maalmood gudahood ah.
Wasaaradda Cadaaladda ayaa difaacday habka xilka looga qaaday guddoomiyihii hore, iyadoo sheegtay in Golaha Sare ee Garsoorka, oo uu dhigayo Dastuurka cusub ee la ansixiyay bishii Maarso 2026, aanu weli dhismin, xilkana looga qaaday hannaan la mid ah kii markii hore lagu magacaabay, iyadoo go'aanka lagu saleeyay nidaamkii ku-meel-gaarka ahaa. Wasaaraddu waxay ku dhawaaqday inaysan u aqoonsanayn go'aankii Maxkamadda Sare ee 5-tii November inuu yahay go'aan sharci ah.
Baaqa khubarada Qaramada Midoobey
12-kii November, khubarada Qaramada Midoobey ee Margaret Satterthwaite iyo Ben Saul ayaa dowladda Soomaaliya ugu baaqay inay dib xilka ugu soo celiso Baashe Yuusuf Axmed, iyagoo ku doodey in xil ka qaadistiisa aan loo marin habraacyadii dastuuriga ahaa, oo ay ku jiraan ansixinta Baarlamaanka iyo soo jeedinta Guddiga Adeegga Garsoorka. Khubaradu waxay ku tilmaameen xil ka qaadista inay tahay faragelin cad oo ku timid madax-bannaanida garsoorka.
Justice Ministry says UN rapporteurs published their report without seeking an official government response.
Somalia's government has rejected criticism from independent United Nations experts over the dismissal of former Chief Justice Bashe Yusuf Ahmed and the validation of a presidential term extension, according to a Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs press release.
Ministry Questions UN Experts' Procedure
The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs said the UN experts published their report without first requesting an official response from the government, describing this as contrary to the working procedures of independent experts of the UN Human Rights Council. The ministry said it values the role of UN human rights institutions.
Dismissal and Court Ruling at Center of Dispute
Bashe Yusuf Ahmed was dismissed as Chief Justice on 4 November, while the Supreme Court was handling a constitutional case related to President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term of office. The Supreme Court annulled the constitutional amendment that extended the President's term by one year and ordered federal elections within 90 days.
On 12 November, UN experts Margaret Satterthwaite and Ben Saul called for Ahmed's reinstatement, arguing his dismissal did not follow constitutional procedures, including parliamentary approval and a proposal from the Judicial Services Commission. The ministry said the Supreme Judicial Council provided for in the new constitution approved in March 2026 has not yet been established, and that the dismissal followed the same procedure as his appointment under the interim system.
Government Disputes Supreme Court Decision
The ministry said it does not recognize the Supreme Court's decision of 5 November as a legal decision, arguing that court decisions can only be issued by judges working in a legally constituted panel led by a chief justice who holds office in accordance with the law.
The UN experts condemned the dismissal as a "blatant interference with the independence of the judiciary" and supported the Supreme Court's ruling that both the dismissal and the term extensions were unconstitutional. They declared: "Judges must be free to decide matters without improper influence, pressure, threat or interference."
