Demo held in Mogadishu in support of the new cabinet
Thousands of Mogadishu residents on Thursday took to the streets to voice their strong support for the newly formed cabinet.
On Nov. 4, Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon announced his new government, with a woman been named as the country’s foreign minister for the first time in the country’s history.
The ten member cabinet is expected to face the parliament for endorsement as stipulated in the new constitution.
“After long discussions and consultations, I have named my cabinet which consists of only 10 members. Among them is a female foreign affairs minister for the first time in Somali history,” the prime minister said during the announcement last Sunday.
Another woman named to the new government, Maryan Qasim Ahmed, will take the role of minister of development and social affairs. She had previously served as women’s minister.
Jubilant demonstrators waving Somali flag and carrying placards bearing slogans showing their pleasure towards the new cabinet thronged inside Mogadishu’s Konis Stadium where Prime Minister Shirdon himself turned up.
The demo which was organised by Benadir regional administration was attended by several other top Somali officials including the newly appointed cabinet ministers.
Speaking to the demonstrators, Prime Minister Shirdon expressed his optimism that his cabinet will get parliamentary nod once he seeks endorsement in the coming few days.
Benadir Governor Mohamoud Ahmed Noor Tarsan who also addressed the demonstrators appealed to the parliament to endorse the new cabinet saying that this ten-member cabinet is a true reflection of government’s commitment to stare the country out of the decades old trouble.
Security was intensified in the city and police sealed off all roads leading into the Stadium where the demonstrators gathered to express their full support for the new cabinet.
