Hanad Abdullahi Ahmed Addow, the son of Abdullahi Ahmed Addow, a former Somali ambassador to the United States and a former presidential candidate, has been in Mogadishu in recent days. Hanad’s arrival in Mogadishu has sparked a flurry of rumors that he has been named the new prime minister of Somalia.

However, according to information obtained by Sources from Villa Somalia told Somali Times , Hanad’s arrival in Mogadishu is not related to the post of prime minister but to the appointment of a Somali ambassador to France. That President Farmajo had appointed Hanad to the post some time ago, but was expected to be accepted by the French government, before the appointment was officially announced, which has now.




The Hanad is said to have come to Mogadishu to obtain a Somali diplomatic passport and to meet with the president before traveling to Paris. The Hanad is a scholar who has worked with the UN for almost 20 years and has good experience, but it is difficult to hand over the post of prime minister at this time, as he is said to have left Somalia at the age of seven, so may find it difficult to manage this turbulent transition period.

President Mohamed Farmajo reportedly has great respect and appreciation for Abdullahi Ahmed Addow, who during his visit to the United States welcomed him to Washington, D.C., and worked with at him in the embassy, ​​during which Addow was Somalia’s ambassador to the United States.
