Dear Ismail
Sharia courts have been operating in Puntland including capital City of Garowe, in Somaliland and in many cities of Somalia on an amicable terms. The condition to rule is that the two sides of the dispute agree on resorting to the private arbitration courts based on Islamic jurisprudence. The difference between these private courts and Puntland lowers courts which apply sharia law is that their verdict isn’t binding as those of Puntland justice system and individuals involved cam take the matters to the other courts. These private courts are not different from many arbitration courts in US & Europe which have had even series of movie episodes, some of them widely respected and accepted. Taking them to extremes as you mentioned in your breaking-news-style sensation isn’t absolutely quite wrong and beyond reasonable judgement.
Do they need licenses from the government to operate in the country?
Since their verdict isn’t binding, they are a form of arbitrations which are performed by the elders or businessmen to solve disputes. Government has not yet requested them to register.
What you are talking about is an ad hoc religious groups dealing disputes between parties in remote areas of the country.. Here, it is about organized teams in Puntland Capital City, and perhaps elsewhere, for profit without any means to enforce their judgments at moment, but have the potential to grow as parallel judiciary organizations in urban centres. Nobody is concerned about settlement of disputes through Sharia among the nomads in the countryside.
Sorry I meant to say “Taking them to extremes as you mentioned in your breaking-news-style sensation is absolutely quite wrong and beyond reasonable judgement”.
Apologies.
