"Abdidahir Warsam," who claimed ownership of part of the Complainant's farm, and that the ruling also went against him. 45. From his submissions, the Commission notes that the Complainant has made some efforts to bring the case to the attention of the relevant authorities of the Respondent State, including the Police, the Regional Court of Mudug, and the Appellate Regional Court of Galmudug Region, but has not succeeded in recovering his property. However, the Commission observes that despite the availability of higher courts for the Complainant to contest the decision of the Galmudug Appellate Regional Court, such as the Supreme Court of Galmudug, he chose not to pursue this avenue. 46.

In light of these legal provisions, the Commission acknowledges the existence of a recourse for individuals dissatisfied with the Regional Appellate Court's ruling. However, the Complainant has not indicated, in any of his submissions, that he had taken any steps to approach the Supreme Court, nor has he claimed that it was impossible.
