The President of the Republic of Somaliland, Muse Bihi Abdi, has made a sweeping
reshuffle to some of Somaliland's most strategic diplomatic
posts.
Among those who have been replaced are Ayan Mohamud Anshour, "Gobonnimo" and veteran diplomat, Mohamed Abdi Da'ar.
The
reshuffle includes the Somaliland Liaison offices in the UK, Ethiopia,
EU, Germany, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Norway and Yemen.
The new
appointments include Abdi Abdillahi Hersi, who is the new representative
in the UK, and Salan Hassan Keyd, who has been moved from Addis Ababa
to Brussels.
The new emissary to Ethiopia is Yusuf Mohamed Guled.
The
appointment of a relative novice, Barkhad Mohamud Kariye, as deputy in
Addis Ababa, appears to be a nod the the younger generation of
Somalilanders.
The
replacement of Ayan Mohamud "Gobonnimo" has caused the most controversy
in the reshuffle. The long time emissary to the United Kingdom and the
Commonwealth has by all accounts acquitted herself well. However, a
recent posting on Twitter featuring the representative with the veteran
opposition politician from the Waddani party, Abdilkader Jirde, may
have led to her removal.
According
to our sources, the reshuffle may be a prelude to the appointment of a
new Foreign minister. There are reports that the current Foreign
minister, Prof. Yasin Haji Mohamud Hir, "Faratoon", is considering
resigning due to health reasons. If these reports are true, then the
favorite to succeed Minister Faratoon is the current Somaliland
representative in Kenya, Bashe Awil.
