#BREAKING: Somalia’s Supreme Court judges have ruled that constitutional changes adopted in 2026 did not extend the four-year mandates of the current federal institutions. They said Parliament’s and the government’s mandates expired on April 14, 2026, and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s on May 15. The ruling declares decisions taken under their constitutional and legal powers after those dates invalid, while allowing the government to handle routine affairs in a caretaker capacity.
The judges directed political stakeholders to agree on a consensus electoral framework within 30 days and hold elections within 90 days. They accepted former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed’s challenge to mandate extensions but rejected his challenge to the constitutional amendment procedure because he lacked legal standing to bring that part of the case.

A big win for International Refugee Law once again as the Court upholds the principle of non-refoulment & quashes the directive by the Kenyan Government that had imposed a blanket ban on registration of refugees from Ethiopia and Eritrea.. Big win for the rule of law and international human rights..🥳🙏 Cc my team of lawyers @_ngaowilson @ninah_zahira 🥳 #refugeelaw #internationalhumanrights
