Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 1:06 pm
Somali politician Mohamed Omar Arteh has denied a report saying the Somali government appointed him as an ambassador to unspecified country.
Reports in Mogadishu claimed the Somaliland politician was in the Indian Ocean city to take up a new ambassador role for Somalia under prime minister Abdi Farah Shirdon. However, Mr. Mohamed said the appointment was untrue.
Mr. Mohamed Omer Arteh said the report was false and slammed the Somali media including Somalilandpress. He held a number of posts in Somaliland politics including as a senior policy advisor to the ministry of interior during Riyale administration.
Mohamed is the son of one of Somalia’s most prominent political figures, Omar Arteh Ghalib. Mr. Ghalib served as the Prime Minister of Somalia but it was his role as the Foreign Minister during the Siad Bare era that he created a strong foreign policy for Somalia. He is credited for joining Somalia in the Arab League.
