Somali-American is new prime minister in Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's president named a new prime minister on Thursday, bringing into the government a Somali-American who has taught at a community college in New York state.

Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed replaces Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, who had a long-running feud with the president and resigned last month.

A statement from the Somali government said that Mohamed is a former Somali diplomat. He worked in the Somali Embassy in Washington from 1985 to 1988, according to the government's website.

Mohamed has taught conflict resolution and leadership skills at Erie Community College, a member of the State University of New York (SUNY) system, according to his resume. He has a master's degree in political science from SUNY-Buffalo, it said.

Mohamed will be asked to name a Cabinet within one month.

Mark Bowden, a top U.N. official with oversight of Somalia, said Mohamed's Cabinet is expected to be smaller than the bloated group of politicians that Sharmarke had control over. Among officials in Sharmarke's Cabinet was a minister of tourism in a violence-plagued country that sees only a handful of tourists each year.

Somalia's Transitional Federal Government controls only a few blocks of Mogadishu and is generally seen as corrupt, weak and ineffective. The government has accomplished little since its inception in 2004. Somalia hasn't had a fully functioning government since 1991, when warlords overthrew the president.

The U.S. last month announced a new, dual track approach to Somalia that will see continued American support of the transitional government but also new, direct support of other groups and regions in Somalia. The new approach includes increased support to the semiautonomous Somali regions of Somaliland and Puntland.

Best of luck to him, I hope he will not become a puppet for Geography teacher, and think outside the Box. The Support of Puntland is earned and not given right away. The man has a Month to prove himself, he can start with the Cabinet Ministers and from there a visit with those who hold real weight in Villa Garowe.

Once again Best of Luck to the New Prime Minister.

Man sha allah. Look at his dignified posture and how professional he looks. Now compare him to Sharif who looks like an ape escaped from Mogadishu zoo. This man should be President.

I have nothing against beesha Boon wa Family. But when it comes to Politics I dislike majority of the Somali clans including some M.J subclans I would personally hate to see in Power.

The new Prime Minister is highly educated, I am quit interested to see him go to work against many odds.

Surely Puntland will welcome him, but reer Mudug will test him and if he passes the test he will be respected and welcomed.

20 years of exile and punishement have come to an end. However small a step the PM position may seem to many it is a gaint leap in the right direction.

Koonfur for all koonfurians.

Let us hope and pray this a positive step in the right directon for Koonfur political centrism and the exclusion of all non koonfurians. It is 20years late to begin koonfur centric bais what the hell long live koonfur every one else out.

We will know how smart this guy is with the cabinet sellection. Any P.landers or S.landers and this guy has lost the game without even starting.

I would also like to see a Ransom for the heads of Godane and Shangole asap $100,000 dollars for each head and let us see how long they survive.
