Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud appointed Mohamed Ahmed Amiir as the new Mayor of Mogadishu on Tuesday, replacing Sheikh Yusuf Jim’ale “Maddale” through a presidential decree.
President Mohamud instructed the new mayor to focus on advancing the capital’s development agenda, emphasizing public elections, beautification projects, improved public services, and enhanced security measures.
The Somali president did not explicitly say why he was firing Maddale, but political analysts suggest the change aligns with Mohamud’s push for his “one person, one vote” electoral policy and security objectives.
The new mayor, a seasoned scholar, brings a wealth of experience in economy, social development, administration, and management, signaling a focus on professional governance and alignment with national development priorities.
