Think you forgot the bit, where you have to applaud Somaliland (but I already know)
Mr. Muse was caught up between the Danish government’s demand to have him extradited to stand trial in Denmark for his alledged crime, and Somaliland’s constitution which BARS extradition of citizens for prosecution in foreign countries. An unintended consequence of his dual nationality.

@SirLancelLord
Can I ask you, when the Danish govt asked Somaliland to extradite him to Denmark, why did the authorities in Somaliland rush to indict him and charge him with a murder that took place in another jurisdiction without any evidences? It was a 20 minutes hearing of a serious murder case without defence lawyers and without any evidentiary presentation? They damaged the reputation of Somaliland and made a mockery of it’s judicial/legal system. Secondly, it isn’t a rocket science to understand that Somaliland wanted to corner the Danish into signing an extradition treaty with Somaliland and you can’t sign such treatises with a state you don’t legally recognise as a sovereign state. Let’s leave there.
In your initial post, you falsely and negatively portrayed the Danish authorities for pursuing a murderer to face justice. It’s good to see that you are no longer pushing that narrative. Somaliland and Somalia shouldn’t be used as a hiding place for murderers, rapists and serious criminals because if a Somali becomes a victim of crime in Copenhagen, we expect the Danish authorities to find the perpetrators and be prosecuted to the fullest of the law. Likewise, we shouldn’t ship our criminals and smuggle them out of the country when a Danish family is expecting that person to face the justice system. A simple logic.
