الحياة الشخصية

Sharmarke was born in 1960 in Mogadishu, situated in the southeastern Banaadir province of Somalia.[3] He is the son of the former second President and first Prime Minister of Somalia, Abdirashid Ali Shermarke, who was assassinated in 1969, and Rukiyo Mo’alim Daahir,[4] the daughter of the well-known Somali Islamic scholar Mo’alim Dahir Ali Boss.[5] His family belongs to the Majeerteen Harti Darod clan,[6] and originally hails from Somalia's northeastern Puntland region.[3]

Sharmarke studied at Carleton University in Ottawa, where he earned degrees in political science and political economy.[6] Although his family is based in Virginia in the United States, he holds both Somali and Canadian citizenship.[7]


Career

Early career

Sharmarke has worked in a diplomatic capacity for the United Nations in Sri Lanka and Sierra Leone,[6][8] and served as a political advisor on the Darfur conflict in Sudan.[7] Before becoming Prime Minister, he was Somalia's ambassador-designate to the United States.[8]

Prime Minister of Somalia, 1st term

Appointment

On the February 13, 2009, then President of Somalia Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed nominated Sharmarke to become Prime Minister at a meeting in Djibouti.[9] Sharmarke's nomination was widely welcomed, with a spokesman for the moderate Islamic Courts movement describing him as an "honest" man who should bring about "positive changes."[7]

Prime Minister of Somalia, 2nd term

Appointment

On 17 December 2014, Sharmarke was reappointed Prime Minister of Somalia by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. He replaced Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed, who was voted out of office by the Federal Parliament.[10]


Somalia-United States bilateral cooperation

On 5 May 2015, Sharmarke, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and other senior government officials met with US Secretary of State John Kerry at the Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu.[11] Security in the capital was tightened ahead of the state visit, and roads connecting to the airport were cordoned off.[12] The bilateral meeting was the first ever visit to Somalia by an incumbent US Secretary of State.[13] It served as a symbol of the ameliorated political and security situation in the country.[12] The officials focused on the benchmarks enshrined within Somalia's Vision 2016 political roadmap, as well as cooperation in the security sector.[13] Additionally, Kerry conferred with the presidents of the Puntland, South West State and Jubaland regional states, as well as some government ministers.[14] He also met with civil society leaders and AMISOM representatives.[13] Kerry was likewise expected to commit further assistance toward the local reconstruction and development process.[12]
