The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Somaliland is currently in a state of complete paralysis after its two highest-ranking officials—Foreign Minister Abdirahman Dahir Adan and Director-General Mohamed Abdirahman—left the country on personal trips.
The minister traveled to the United States, where he resides, claiming he was visiting his family and attending to personal matters there, as he originally came from the US.
Meanwhile, the Director-General traveled to Mecca, Saudi Arabia to perform Emira , leaving the ministry without a deputy minister.
At a time when the region is undergoing new developments, the reason behind the foreign ministry’s paralysis remains unclear. Many are questioning how this situation unfolded under President Muse Bihi Abdi’s leadership.
On the other hand, some foreign missions based in Hargeisa sought to meet with the ministry’s leadership but were informed that the two top officials were absent from the country.
This is the first time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been seen in such a state.
