Somalia’s President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed Names Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke as New Prime Minister

Somalia’s President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed has named Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke as the country’s new prime minister. The announcement is seen as a positive move in establishing strong relationships in the international community as Sharmarke has been recognized for his diplomacy.

 

In his acceptance speech Sharmarke stated, “I will continue to promote reconciliation and create a sense of unity among Somalis.” That promotion of unity appears to be a real possibility with Sharmarke as he is widely respected throughout his country and is seen as a man who will represent all Somalis equally.

 

Sharmarke now has a month to appoint a new cabinet that will be approved by parliament. He will also have to resolve the continued problems the country has faced with the radical Islamist group al-Shabab which has refused to recognize the new administration.

 

Somalia has gone nearly two decades without a centralized government and much of the country is run by Islamist radicals.
