Dear Mr Suleiman Ismail Bolaleh, 

in response to your query (below) to search for Dr Fahmo Abdi in prisons, we would like to let you know that the ICRC is not visiting places of detention in most of Ethiopia, including the Somali Regional State, nor does the ICRC have a presence in the Somali Regional State.

Also, as per working procedure, the Red Cross usually conducts tracing on the basis of a tracing request initiated by a family member.

With best regards,  

Micha Wedekind
Protection delegate
