The contentious land in question is a public property that was owned by the Government of Somalia Republic during the period of the union with Somalia and even housed the then ruling party’s District offices at Zeyla before resettlement of landless community upon return with the independence & statehood of Somaliland.
The mayor was implementing a ministerial directive recently issued by public works ministry requiring listing of all public assets in possession of private individuals together with unused public land-a directive in implementing a presidential decree on the same subject.
