Silanyo under Meles’s influence
President Ahmed Mohamed Mahamoud has appointed a young officer trained in an Ethiopian military academy to head the intelligence services.
14/01/2012
Mohamed Nur Hersi did not last long at the head of the Somaliland National Intelligence Agency (NIA), a job that he took over from Hussein Hassan Guleid known as Kenyati in November 2010 (ION 1298). President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud known as Silanyo sacked him on 4 January, replacing him with Jama Mohamed Botan known as Cirro. The latter joined the Somaliland army in 2008, which sent him the following year on a two year training course at the Ethiopian military academy in Mekele, the capital of the Tigray Regional State. This choice is to the liking of the Ethiopian government, which had called for Mohamed Nur Hersi’s head to roll because he had refused to reply positively to Addis Ababa’s security demands.
The desire to maintain good relations with Ethiopia is also one of the factors that has led President Silanyo to forcibly convene last week his Minister to the Presidency Hersi Haji Ali Hassan for a reprimand. Indeed, Hassan has recently had a spat with the Ethiopian Consul in Hargeisa, General Berhe Tesfaye (ION 1321). Silanyo accuses him of being unprofessional in his work and of discreetly being one of the founders of the political organisation Nasiye headed by Ahmed Mohamoud Omer. Since then, the traditional leaders have tried to bring an end to this dispute between two men who are both members of the Issak/Habar Jelo clan. But to no avail so far!
