my point is somalis r tribal and the vengeance goes on for a long time,he might be in the us but not only him but his off spring could be off limits to somalia unless ofc he be in hiding in few regions. there could be the possibility his sub clan could be made accountable. dont know about japanese but the germans given amnesty were scientists that had nothing to do with military operations, like Braun who help thm with space technology.
imagine the guilt of constantly watching ur back.

German and Japanese scientists who did human experiments were granted amnesty so they could hand over their data to the US.

NASA advanced when they got Nazi rocket scientists

@Apollo How would the World be if NASA didn't absorb those Nazi rocket scientists?

Tukeh is on trial now in Virginia, where a lawyer member of the PC group is attending. The case is civil, not criminal. This was in today's e-mail:

"Today, I attended the civil trial in U.S.District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia brought by Farhan Mohamoud Tani v. Colonel Yusuf Abdi Ali(Tukeh). The suit is brought under the US Torture Victim Protection Act which means that a victim of torture may bring a civil suit against his or her alleged torturer if that person resides in the US. Colonel Tukeh lives in Northern Virginia. The complaint alleges torture and attempted extrajudicial killing of Farhan Mohamoud by Colonel Tukeh.
Basically, the complaint alleges in 1988,Farhan Mohamoud, a member of the Issaq, lived in the small village of Jifo Uray outside Gebiley. Colonel Tukeh as commander of the 5th Brigade of the Somali National Army, stationed in Gebiley, rounded up male Issaq in the village, brought them to the Army's base, tortured them and then shot Farhan Mohamoud and tried to kill him.This was part of the Siad Barre Regime's efforts to terrorize and drive all Issaq from the Region and thus deprive the Somali National Movement, (SNM) of support.

The part of the trial I saw included live testimony by Farhan and four video depositions of villagers and one Major who served under Tukeh before defecting to the SNM.

This is a jury trial and I am not sure the jury is getting all of the ins and outs of Somali clans, elders, village names and the like. The first witness yesterday was former Ambassador Robert Gosende who testified as to the brutality of the regime against the Issaq in the north, the indiscriminate killing of members of the tribe and the political climate in Somalia in the late 1980s as the SNM became more successful in it opposition.

Farhan's testimony was a bit tedious because each question and answer had to be translated into Somali and I sensed the jury's attention beginning to lag.

The complaint asks for monetary and punitive damages in unspecified amounts and payment of the plaintiff's legal fees.

It is highly likely that Tukeh is judgment proof, meaning he either has no assets or has transferred them to his wife or relatives.

However, his immigration status is another matter. He was originally deported from Canada for having committed gross human rights abuses. He came to the US where his wife resided, and after deportation proceedings were initiated against him, he voluntarily left but returned in 1996. I do not know whether he claims that his wife's status (she may by now be an American citizen) allows him to remain in the US. I did meet an attorney from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement who works in the Human Rights Law Section, so at least ICE is aware of the case and the testimony being given. Even if Tukeh does not pay anything to the plaintiff, being deported from the US would be partial justice for the war crimes he committed.

The trial will probably be over by the end of the week and once I know the verdict, I'll send out another email."

Good. Now unemployment won't nag him

Yeah as it is great on the west n east coasts

4 days ago pretty recent if you ask me.

From my friend at the trial:

"The jury in the civil suit against Colonel Tukeh found him liable for torture of the plaintiff but innocent of attempted extra-judicial killing. It awarded $400,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. It is unlikely that Tukeh has the assets to pay the judgment.
However, because he was found liable for torturing the plaintiff, an innocent civilian, that would constitute a war crime and make him subject to deportation. We will have to wait and see if that happens."

Why is CNN harrasing this innocent old guy, I understand he is accused of these crimes since his arrival which was 30 years ago, yet no proof of whatsoever untill now, where is the guilty untill proven?

Col Tuke is a victim of media stalking him for over 30 years, because of those documentaries they made about him had caused him to not only loose his refugee status but also to get deported back to the US, they need to leave this old citizen alone untill he is convicted for said crimes.
