 Welcome the New Minister

I extend my congratulations to the newly appointed Minister of Petroleum and Minerals, my brother Dahir Shire Mohamed.

I would like to express my gratitude to the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister of the Government, with whom I had the honor to work during my tenure as Minister of Petroleum and Minerals. I especially thank the Prime Minister for his leadership, which was based on shared vision and mutual respect.

Some may wonder why my dismissal occurred at this time, especially given that many speculated about a strong bond between the President and me.

It is true that such a relationship exists. However, my dismissal was due to differing perspectives on addressing the grievances of the Hiran community regarding the HirShabelle administration. These grievances have persisted since the initial establishment of HirShabelle during the previous term of President Hassan Sheikh. At that time, the solution was perceived to be designating Buloburde as the capital of HirShabelle, but this was not implemented, and a consensus was reached to make Jowhar the capital instead.

Over time, these grievances escalated, especially during the presidency of Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo, when efforts to resolve Hiran's concerns were unsuccessful.

Fundamentally, the President, I, and other politicians agreed that the grievances of the Hiran community are genuine and require a solution involving the HirShabelle administration and the federal government. However, there were differing views on the most appropriate way to resolve these
