Condemns Unjust Revocation of Immunity for Opposition MP Mohamed Abib
Unprecedented
Move by Somaliland Prosecutor Raises Concerns Over Political Integrity
In a startling development, the Somaliland Prosecutor has
announced plans to revoke the immunity of opposition Member of Parliament
Mohamed Abib without providing any justification. This unprecedented move has
sparked significant concern among political observers and the public alike,
raising questions about the motivations behind such an action and its
implications for the political landscape in Somaliland.
iSomaliland, a distinguished organization dedicated to
supporting Somaliland's independence and the principles of self-determination
and sovereignty, strongly condemns this action. The revocation of parliamentary
immunity without cause undermines the democratic principles that Somaliland
strives to uphold and threatens the political stability of the region.
Mohamed Abib, a prominent figure in Somaliland's opposition,
has been a vocal advocate for the rights and aspirations of the people of
Somaliland. The decision to revoke his immunity appears to be a politically
motivated attempt to silence dissent and weaken the opposition's ability to
hold the government accountable.
Mohamed A. Isaaq, political analyst of iSomaliland,
expressed his deep concern over this development. In a statement, he said:
"The revocation of MP Mohamed Abib's immunity without
any reason is a blatant disregard for the principles of justice and democracy.
It is imperative that the Somaliland government respects the rule of law and
ensures that all actions taken against elected officials are transparent and
justified. We stand in solidarity with Mohamed Abib and call for an immediate
reversal of this decision."
The move to revoke Mohamed Abib's immunity has also drawn
criticism from international observers and human rights organizations. Many
have pointed out that such actions could have far-reaching consequences for
Somaliland's quest for international recognition and support. The international
community has long supported Somaliland's peaceful and legitimate aspirations
for independence, and actions that undermine democratic processes could
jeopardize this support.
iSomaliland urges the Somaliland government to reconsider
this decision and to uphold the principles of justice, transparency, and
accountability. The organization calls on all stakeholders, including the
international community, to closely monitor the situation and to advocate for
the protection of democratic rights in Somaliland.
As Somaliland continues to navigate its path towards
independence, it is crucial that the government respects the rights of all its
citizens, including elected officials. The revocation of Mohamed Abib's
immunity sets a dangerous precedent and must be addressed promptly to ensure
the continued stability and democratic integrity of Somaliland.
