Somalia’s parliament on Saturday unanimously endorsed Hamza Abdi Barre as new prime minister, paving the way for the creation of a new government.<\/p>\n

All 220 lawmakers present gave their blessing to Barre’s appointment, and he was then sworn in to office, the parliament speaker said.<\/p>\n

Barre 48, told parliament he would form a “quality<\/strong>” government that would focus on “creating inclusive political stability (in line with) the president’s motto of a reconciled Somalia that is at peace with the world<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Somalia’s new adminstration faces a raft of challenges including a looming food crisis and a grinding insurgency by Al-Shabaab jihadists.<\/p>\n

The MP from the semi-autonomous state of Jubaland was chosen earlier this month by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who was elected by parliament in May after a long-delayed and stormy voting process.<\/p>\n

Strong economy and basic services<\/h2>\n

“Our government has an ambitious policy programme which seeks to improve our security, strengthen our economy and deliver basic services for our people<\/strong>,” Mohamud said on Twitter after Barre was approved.<\/p>\n

There are hopes that Mohamud’s presidency will draw the line under a seething political crisis that blighted the rule of his predecessor Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and threatened to plunge the country back into violent chaos.<\/p>\n

Mohamud himself did not appear at the parliamentary session after he said on Friday that he had tested positive for Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Mohamud is a former academic and peace activist who was previously president from 2012 to 2017 but whose first administration was dogged by claims of corruption and infighting.<\/p>\n
