Military Court in Somalia Orders Closure of Shops Selling Tramadol

The Somali military court has issued an order to shut down shops illegally selling Tramadol and other addictive substances without proper prescriptions.

This decisive action comes as Mogadishu faces a growing drug abuse crisis, with Tramadol, a potent opioid, contributing to numerous deaths and escalating public health concerns.

The move is part of broader efforts to curb the misuse of drugs and protect vulnerable populations, particularly youth, from the devastating effects of addiction.

Authorities are also likely to intensify crackdowns and enhance regulations to tackle this pressing issue.

The military court issued the order, which comes into effect immediately, on Thursday.
