The Union of Somali Councils of Ulama recognises the federal government’s right to administer and reorganise land intended for the public interest in Mogadishu. It nonetheless calls for legally established private property to be protected from any infringement, according to the position set out after a meeting in Mogadishu.
The Union of Somali Councils of Ulama supports the government’s right to administer and reorganise land intended for the public interest in Mogadishu, while calling for legally established private property to be protected. This position was adopted at a meeting with the Banaadir regional administration and the Somali Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments, according to the Union of Somali Councils of Ulama.
The meeting, held at the headquarters of Xamar municipality, focused on land disputes and complaints linked to operations carried out by the authorities in several districts of the capital. The ulama are therefore calling for land intended for the public interest to be distinguished from private property whose ownership is legally recognised.
