Somali President Appoints Mohamed Roble as Prime Minister

Somali President Mohamed Farmaajo has appointed Mohamed Hussein Roble as the country's prime minister, replacing Hassan Khaire who was ousted in a no-confidence vote on July 25, 2020. He was appointed moments after Somali federal leaders, including the president, agreed on a revised deal to revert to a clan-based voting system with slight improvements to how those delegates are selected. Roble's task also includes starting a constitutional review programme, which his predecessor was accused of failing to achieve. Somalia's elections programme is due to start on November 1, 2020, according to the new agreement.
