Mohamed A. Aden “Tiiceey”, a Somali-American and former governor of Himan & Heeb state of Somalia, was unduly arrested October 12, 2013 by the Belgium authorities accusing him of being complacent to piracy! Mr. Tiiceey is an honorable statesman and has been in Somalia to help find a lasting peace after 21 years of civil war.
Why is this important?
Mohamed A. Aden “Tiiceey”, a Somali-American and former governor of Himan & Heeb state of Somalia, was unduly arrested October 12, 2013 by the Belgium authorities accusing him of being complacent to piracy! Mr. Tiiceey is an honorable statesman and has been in Somalia to help find a lasting peace after 21 years of civil war.
Mr. Tiiceey is a family man, married with 6 kids, and community leader. While in school, he helped establish number of student and not profit organizations including North American Somali Student Organization umbrella to help his fellow students. Tiiceey was known for his untiring support and advocacy for his fellow students and community.
Upon completing his master’s degree from Mankato State, Tiiceey was called to serve his ancestral home as governor of Himan & Heeb State of Somalia. At the time, in an average, about 20 people were dying daily either from hostile or accidental gunfire. The people of the region lacked basic necessities. In response, Tiiceey reconciled warring groups, built schools, clinics, dug wells, and established a functioning government structure. In his tenure as the governor of Himan & Heeb State, he campaigned against both Al-Shabaab and Pirates. Tiiceey crusaded finding offshore solutions to the piracy problem in the region. He persuaded many young men to defect from these groups.
Thanks to Tiiceey’s formidable efforts, the people of Himan & Heeb State of Somalia and its surrounding regions are now enjoying relative peace and stability.
This arrest is the result of the Belgium authorities’ overreaction and lack of understanding of the power dynamics of this particular region of Somalia. Mr. Tiiceey ran this region politically and diplomatically but never had the military power to challenge or rid piracy from this region.
We hope that you sign this petition demanding the release of Gov. Tiiceey, Belgium government afford respect for the Somali officials and the international community to put in place laws protecting individuals from such abuses.
