Caddaani is still in Jabuuti

n Djibouti, an influential Somali businessman briefly arrested over financing the Islamic Courts was said to be weighing whether to back them again or turn to the government.

 

Abukar Omar Adan, 72, supported the sharia courts' movement during their six-month rule of Mogadishu and most of south Somalia last year. He was detained in neighbouring Kenya after Ethiopian and Somali government troops drove out the courts at the New Year, scattering fighters and supporters.

 

In February, Kenya dropped an immigration case against Adan without explanation, and this weekend he showed up in Djibouti where Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi flew in an effort to bring him back to his homeland.

 

"He was not of the (Islamic) courts, he supported them morally and financially in the beginning," Adan's aide told Reuters by telephone from Djibouti. "But when they turned more destructive and uncompromising, he withdrew his support."

 

He added: "If the courts still stand for good things, he will support them, and if the government changes its tune and stands for good things, he will support them."

 

The aide said Adan, who ships commodities such as sugar and building materials to Somalia, would stay in Djibouti.

 

"He's not going to Asmara, Addis Ababa or Mogadishu."

 

Somalia's 9 million people have endured near-ceaseless instability since warlords toppled a military dictator in 1991.
