Delays from the Kenyaati side which we have seen twice. Sack their lawyers teams countless times. He would have been impartial and gave the correct judgement as per the laws, and the law favours the Somali case. But alas, we shall see this year with the new judge Ms.Joan.

Abdiqawi is a inspiration to Somalis around the world and to inspiring judges for the future. His expertise would be very important for the Somali legal framework and such value shouldn't be wasted.

Naah it wasnt delays from kenyan side but it was mutual agreement as both sides were ok with the postponement.

Abdulqawi could be a great president for somalia, he his highly educated, knows the law and is probably not involved in qabiil nonsense. We need educated people as our leaders
