Mogadishu, Somalia — Mohamed Ahmed Amiir officially took office as the new Governor of Banadir Region and Mayor of Mogadishu during an overnight hand-over ceremony attended by Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre.

Amiir brings a background in economic issues, social development, and administration to his new dual role.

The president has given Amiir a clear mandate to drive forward the development of Mogadishu.

The appointment marks a new chapter for Mogadishu, with expectations high for significant progress under Amiir's leadership.
