Laftagareen Sacks All Lower Shabelle Judges

President Abdiaziz Hassan Mohamed Laftagareen of the regional state of Southwest has sacked all judges in Lower Shabelle.

His decision to dismiss all judges in Somalia’s Lower Shabelle is significant and may reflect an intent to overhaul the judicial system, potentially addressing longstanding issues of impartiality and effectiveness.

This move could align with broader reforms to enhance governance or accountability within the judiciary, though it also raises questions about political motives, given the region’s complex dynamics.

Such actions might have mixed impacts on public perception.

Some may view this as a positive step toward ensuring fairer judicial processes, while others may interpret it as political interference, potentially undermining trust in the judicial system.
