Traditional Leader Sentenced to Five-Year Prison

 

Berbera (The Rep) – The Regional Court of Berbera sentenced Traditional Leader Boqor Rabi Yusuf Abdullahi to a five-year prison on Wednesday.

 

The Traditional leader was accused of Treason for attending the Mogadishu Reconciliation Conference organized by the TFG of Somalia.

 

The Regional prosecutor presented to the court written and recorded evidence that Boqor Rabi had committed acts of treason against Somaliland during his attendance of the Conference.

 

The prosecutor said; “We have a letter sent by Boqor Rabi to Abdullahi Yusuf requesting payment of expenses incurred for holding conferences inside Somaliland to encourage people to attend the Mogadishu Conference.”

 

On December 6, 2007 the Traditional leader was arrested by Police and Immigration Officers while trying to sneak into Somaliland by using false passport under another name at the port of Berbera.

 

The sentence was based on the Resolutions by the legislative, which was renewed by the House of Elders in July 2007 warning all Somaliland citizens not to attend the conference in that anyone who attends the Mogadishu conference will be considered as committing an act of Treason against Somaliland.

 

Boqor Rabi said that he was not satisfied with the verdict and that he will appeal.’
