Somalia: Key ministers lose posts
2007-05-13
(SomaliNet) SomaliaÂ’s interim Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi has on Saturday fired two of his cabinet ministers in a decree issued today for failing to do honestly the national duty as part of his reshuffle of the cabinet.

The sacked ministers are Bare Aden Shire ‘Hirale’ the defense minister and Hussein Aideed, the deputy prime minister. In the decree, the fired ministers were accused of being inactive in their duties. Both Aideed who is now in Asmara, Eritrea and Hirale, in Baidoa, southwest Somalia, did not yet comment on losing their high ranking posts in the government.
Do-nothing ministers? Sounds like half the government hacks in the West.
Hussien Aideed who had already lost the post of interior minister was accused of making alliance with the ousted Islamist leaders and former parliament speaker.

The only posts left for both men are members of the parliament.
