Somali President, Abdikarim H. Abdi Buh

A top official of Somali’s parliament, Abdikarim H. Abdi Buh says he has filed a motion with the Speaker of the country’s parliament to impeach President Mohamed Abdullahi.

A statement released by Abdi Buh lists as grounds for the impeachment, an allegation that the president secretly signed agreements with other countries including Ethiopia and Eritrea.

President Abdullahi was also accused of illegally extraditing alleged criminals to other countries and violating Somalia’s federalism law and the rules and regulations of parliament.

Constitutionally, 92 lawmakers out of the total 275 parliamentarians have to sign such a motion for it to be submitted to the speaker. The Parliament may debate the motion a week later.
