Following reports yesterday that former Chairman Somaliland Journalists Association,,” SOLJA” and Prominent Journalist Mr. Mahmuod Jama popularly known as Xuuto who had left the country after the government issued a warrant for his arrest this week—which was expected to lead to his detention—Somaliland security forces today seized Xuuto’s vehicle. The forces took control of the car from Xuuto’s children, who were using it for business in the market.
Xuuto, who spoke to the media via telephone, confirmed the incident, stating that the vehicle was seized on the Indho Birta road in the Idaacada neighborhood.
This incident represents a serious violation of statehood and the freedoms of Somaliland, as it involves the unlawful confiscation of a private citizen’s property without legal justification.
