The 1st Anti-Terrorism and Constitutional trial of the Federal High Court, which has been dealing with Abdi’s case, was scheduled for today to give a verdict on the case filed by the prosecutor. Among the individuals who have been asked to defend the case presented by the prosecutor included Abdi Mohammed who governed the Somali Region for eight years. The Federal High Court reached the decision that the defender, the former president of Somali Region, should “defend” this criminal case, according to his lawyer Eskindir. In today’s hearing, the Federal Prosecutor announced that apart from the main case against the defender, a verdict was also given on the “alternative case”. The Federal High Court adjourned the cases of the defendants until 13 November 2023.
