Galmudug State President Removes Minister of Transport and Aviation from Office

Galmudug State President Ahmed Abdi Kariye (Qoorqoor) has issued a presidential decree relieving Abdirisaq Mohamed Mahmoud of his duties as Minister of Transport and Aviation, citing unspecified reasons for the dismissal.

President Qoorqoor has appointed Liban Abdi Mohamed, currently serving as the Minister of State for the Ministry of Transport and Aviation, to assume the responsibilities of the ministry in light of this development.

The ousted minister, Abdirisakh Mohamed Mahmoud, has refrained from issuing any statements regarding his suspension.

The presidential decree, while lacking specific details, coincides with the ongoing large-scale anti-al Shabab operations in Galmudug state. Government forces have recently claimed to have achieved significant progress in these operations, contributing to the prevailing situation.
