Hargeysa,(insidesomalia.org)-The chairman of livestock traders in the self-styled state of Somaliland Mr. Abdullah Mohamed Abdurrahman was detained after discarding an agreement signed between the authority of Somaliland and a tycoon from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

The administration of Somaliland has earlier signed an agreement with the K.S.A mogul by the name Suleiman Al-Jabber regarding about purchasing the livestock of Somaliland.  

The arrested trader is also the deputy provincial commissioner of Togder region having the ticket of the ruling party Udub, and he was arrested while he was in hotel in Hargeysa town. 

The chairman is now at the criminal investigation department in Hargeysa where he is been asked several questions from different directions, and yet the authority of Somaliland has not yet commented about the arrest of this notable person.

However his deputy chairman Mr. Hussein Mohamed Awale called the arrest unlawful one.

The authority of Somaliland has last week produced a decree reading that each and every trader who wants to export livestock to the K.S.A should obviously pass the Saudi tycoon Al-Jabber, and the price should be a fixed one 42US$.  

The opposition party Kulmiye termed the arrest as oppression and violating the price standard of the animals in Somaliland.  

On the other hand the chairman of an opposition party Ucid Mr. Feysal Ali Warabe condemned the arrest of the trader and called it intimidation and totalitarianism.
