lapsed, requesting the Commission to suspend the Complaint until the former had
successfully exhausted local remedies.
24. The Complainants highlighted that they did not intend to withdraw the Complaint,
instead requesting that the Commission suspend the matter, a procedure that is
not catered for in the ROP 2020.
25. Since then, the Complainants have not made any strides or shown any interest in
prosecuting their Complaint before the Commission, nor have they given any
feedback or updates on their efforts in doing so.
26. The Commission notes that more than two years and seven months have lapsed
since the extension of time the Complainants had requested and committed to
submitting their Arguments and Evidence on Admissibility and Merits of this
Communication, which they did not do.
27 . In view of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that the Complainants have
not shown any interest in pursuing the present communication.
28. The Commission draws attention to its case law, in particular in communications
735/19 Residents of the Mau Forest Complex (represented by the Centre for
Comparative and International Law and the Institute for Human Rights and
Development in Africa) v The Republic of Kenya; 594/15 Mohammed Ramadan
Mahmoud Fayad Allah v. Arab Republic of Egypt; 612/16 Ahmed Mohammed Ali
Subaie v. Arab Republic of Egypt; 412/16 Ahmed Mohammed Ali Subaie v. Arab
Republic of Egypt. Arab Republic of Egypt; 412/12 Journal Echos du Nord v.
Republic of Gabon and communication 387/10 Kofi Yamagnane v. Togo, which
were also struck out for lack of diligent prosecution.
Decision of the African Commission
29. In view of the above , the Commission decides to strike out the present complaint
for want of diligent prosecution.
