Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa xilligan ku jirta loolan adag oo ay dib ugu dhiseyso xiriirka kala dhexeeya saaxiibbada caalamka ka dib markii uu soo dhax galay isfaham darro weyn oo saameyn ku yeelatay gargaarka bini'aadantinimo ee dalka soo gala. Khilaafkan oo salka ku hayay bakhaar weyn oo ku yaalla gudaha Dekadda Muqdisho ayaa horseeday in dowladda Mareykanka ay qaaddo tillaabo kulul oo ay ku joojisay qayb ka mid ah gargaarkii muhiimka ahaa ee ay siin jirtay Soomaaliya. Dhacdadan ayaa abuurtay walaac xooggan oo ku aadan sida ay u sii socon karaan hawlgallada gargaarka ee malaayiin qof oo Soomaali ah ay ku tiirsan yihiin. Xuddunta Khilaafka iyo Saameynta ka dhalatay Burburinta Bakhaarka Xiisadda ayaa kacday ka dib markii maamulka dekadda Muqdisho ay dumiyeen bakhaar loogu magac daray Blue Warehouse oo ay maalgelisay dowladda Mareykanka isla markaana ay maamulaysay hay’adda WFP.

The Kenyan High Court has temporarily halted the government's plans to send police officers to Haiti pending the outcome of a petition challenging the deployment.
The petition was filed by former presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot, who argues that the deployment is unconstitutional. Aukot also claims that the country cannot afford to spare 1,000 police officers at a time when it is facing security challenges such as ethnic clashes in western Kenya and al-Shabab attacks in the coastal region of Lamu.
In his ruling, Justice Antony Mrima said that the issues raised in the petition were of public interest and national importance. He also noted that there was a legal debate over whether or not regular police officers could be deployed on international missions.
The government has defended the deployment, arguing that it is in line with Kenya's international obligations and that it will not compromise the country's security.
The court is expected to give further directions on the matter at the end of October.
Implications of the ruling
The ruling by the Kenyan High Court is a significant setback for the government's plans to send police officers to Haiti. It also raises important questions about the legality of deploying regular police officers on international missions.
The ruling is also likely to have implications for other countries that are considering deploying police officers to Haiti. The United Nations has been struggling to recruit police officers for its peacekeeping mission in Haiti, and the Kenyan ruling could make it even more difficult to do so.
Conclusion
The Kenyan High Court's ruling is a reminder of the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that government actions are subject to judicial scrutiny. It is also a reminder of the challenges that countries face in deploying police officers on international missions.
