Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for Mohamed Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud, the son of Somalia's Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud, according to Al Jazeera on December 11. The reason was that Muhammad Muhammad allegedly hit Yunus Emre Gossel, a motorcycle courier, while driving in Istanbul's Fatih district on November 30, 2023.
Gossel was thrown into the air in the accident and was seriously injured, and the victim was taken to the hospital for resuscitation, but despite the efforts of doctors, he died on December 6. The courier has two children left in his family. After a preliminary investigation of the incident, Muhammad was released without any restrictions being imposed on him. But when Somali's son left Turkey a few days later, prosecutors issued an international arrest warrant for him.
According to prosecutors, the suspect's departure was recorded, but authorities were unable to reach him. ** Go to the suspect's home and find him missing on December 2. Meanwhile, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu criticized the authorities for allowing the suspect to leave the country. At the moment, Muhammad and his ** have not commented on the matter.
The report pointed out that in the past decade, Turkey has gradually expanded its presence in Somalia and become its main economic partner, especially in the fields of construction, education, and medical care. After the 2011 famine, Ankara became an important aid to Somalia**. Turkish engineers help build infrastructure there, Turkish companies invest in the country, Turkish officers train Somali soldiers, and the Somali army is strengthened.
It is worth mentioning that such an unfortunate traffic accident should be handled in accordance with the local traffic laws and regulations in Turkey, which should not be difficult given the friendship between the two countries and the special identity of the perpetrators. It's just that this international arrest warrant is a little more dazzling, and the names of Somalia ** and his son are really easy to confuse.
