Arrested Somali officials, including two lawmakers, have been brought before a court in Jigjiga, the administrative capital of Ethiopian-ruled Ogaden Somali region, colleagues report.
Lawmakers Abdullahi Mohammed Farey and Hussein Gaagale accompanied by unnamed Somali military official were accused of entering the country illegally.
The officer and the two lawmakers are held in JigJiga. They were on official mission and we heard their arrest this week,” lawmaker Mohammed Hassan told reporters in Mogadishu.
Top officials of Somalia’s transitional parliament including the deputy Speaker of the interim Somali parliament Osman Elmi Boqorre called on Addis Ababa to release the officials.
It is the first time the Ethiopian government under the leadership of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, a stern supporter of Somali TFG, arrest members of the fragile government that was formed one year ago.
