5.
It appears that the majority on the Committee simply disagreed with the risk
assessment of the Danish authorities, notwithstanding that they reached their conclusion
after a serious fact-finding process that had been procedurally adequate and, in our view,
far more robust than that which the Committee was able to conduct. We, however, are of
the view that the information in the case file, including the long time since the events that
had led the family to leave Somalia, the author’s affiliation to one of the major Somali
clans, his ability to speak and understand Somali and the improving security situation in
Mogadishu, supports the conclusion that the risk assessment conducted by the Danish
authorities had not been clearly arbitrary or amounted to a manifest error or denial of
justice.
