Libel
''Ethiopian Review'' repeated unwarranted material relating to the Sheikh's family and to matters previously dealt with in the ''Al Amoudi v. Brisard'' case of 2005. M. Brisard had made serious and unwarranted allegations concerning engagement in the funding of terrorism in the wake of 9/11 but had subsequently apologised for the accusation. The judge found the statements to be untrue and stated that Al Amoudi "is implacably opposed to terrorism in all its forms”.
In December 2010
Mohammed Hussein Ali Al Amoudi initiated a claim in the English
High Court against Elias Kifle claiming damages for
libel. In July 2011 Kifle was ordered to pay £175,000 in damages for publishing false information.
