Sudanese businessman sues Somalia’s goverment!
Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 1:45 pm
A Sudanese businessman has filled a lawsuit against Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adam, the speaker of Somalia's transitional federal parliament.
Sadiq Mohammed Ahmed demanded the speaker pay $8 million, what the suit claimed to be the businessman’s commission for mediating a deal between the Somali government and Sudan to print Somali currency.
The two nations signed the contract in Khartoum in April 2009, according to Al Ahram Al-youm newspaper in Sudan. Somalia had hoped the agreement would help the country deal with inflation and help stabilize its rocky economy.
The businessman is believed to have close links with some officials in the Somali government such as Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, the president of Somalia.
He is said to have visited Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, when the Somali president was in charge of the Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia in Eritrea.
The businessman claimed he had lent the Somali parliament speaker $8 million.
No comments were immediately available from the transitional government.
