Somalia police gets new chief |
2023-01-27 |
[ShabelleMedia] The cabinet has appointed a new commander of the police force as Somalia is reforming its security and military sectors before taking over the AU troops. This sounds more like a gendarmerie than regular police, if I am reading it correctly. General Sulub Ahmed will take over from Gen Abdi Hassan Hijar, who led the police for nearly 4 years. The appointment was made by the cabinet during the weekly meeting.The new police commissioner was the deputy aviation minister before being named to the post. The move has been expected since the election of May 15 last year. Somali president Hassan Sheikh is also set to appoint a military commander amidst a massive offensive to flush out al-Shabaab ![]() from the entire nation. |

#1 Part of the staying power of some of these groups is that there is weak security through our entire regions of Africa. Bad actors from Rwanda base across a border and continue their bad acting. |
