The Two Guys wearing white shirts are President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh`s sons and the girl in the green dress is his daughter
The eldest daughter of Ismaïl Omar Guelleh (IOG), Fatouma-Awo is back in Djibouti, together with her new baby boy who was born in France a short while ago and her husband, an Ivorian who goes under the name of Tomy. The head of State did not originally take a very good view of this marriage, but is now reported to be highly attached to his grandson. Fatouma-Awo, for her part, would seem to have decided to resume the activity she had in Djibouti before getting married, namely managing the Independent Construction Corp. (ICC). This firm owned by the presidential family was put into liquidation at the end of 2011 (ION 1332), but it could be revived in a new form with Fatouma-Awo and her husband at the tiller. However, some people should beware, notably the EntrepriseDawaleh Construction (EDC) company owned by the MP Youssouf Moussa Dawaleh, which took over certain construction contracts that ICC had relinquished!

It did not take long for the daughter of President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh (IOG) to find a job in Djibouti after graduating from Columbia University last May (ION 1285 ). On 22 August, Haïbado Ismaïl Omar was appointed by presidential decree to the post of technical advisor on economic affairs to the Head of State, one of the highest ranks in the civil service. She will therefore have the upper hand on strategic ministries, such as finance and investment. To help her find settle in, her father even gave her the task of organising the next forum on employment but whose main role will be to launch IOG`s campaign to be re-elected president next year. She will be assisted in this task by Fathia Djama Oudine, IOG`s diplomatic advisor - much to the dismay of the top civil servants in several ministries involved in preparing this forum. The latter consider that neither of these two young ladies has any experience whatsoever on employment issues.
