Mohamed combines considerable distinctive feats of being a professional person in the various fields of diplomacy, academia, policy making programmes and strategic systems of governance. Mohamed also gives academic lectures and presentations to postgraduate students in politics, diplomacy and international affairs mainly about Africa, the Middle East and recently in the Asia Pacific region.[6]

Prior foreign diplomatic posting, Mohamed has been a Senior Political Adviser at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Somaliland.[7][8][9] He also formerly served the Ministry of Finance Development as a Senior Policy Adviser on strategic planning and the macroeconomic policy reform.[7][8] During the first year of President Silanyo, Mohamed served as Maritime Security Consultant to Somaliland Coast Guard - the position was not political but technical.[10] Prior public career, Mohamed also worked with the Local and international Non-Governmental Organisations in Somaliland and abroad as an Executive Director, Programme Manager and a Senior Policy Adviser.[7][8][9][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

Formal education and early life

Mohamed was born and raised in Hargeisa. He began his early Mal'amad Qur'an and primary schooling in 1986 in Hargeisa, which later disrupted by the Somali Civil War in 1988. Mohamed continued his primary and intermediate formal education from Sheikh Madar and Biyo Dha'ay schools soon after Somaliland restored its sovereignty from the union with Somalia in 1991. He later became the first Somaliland students enrolled Farah Omar secondary School in 1996 after the war.[18] Mohamed also studied higher education diplomas of Business Administration and Project Management from local colleges in Hargeisa, Somaliland. He then officially joined the Non-Governmental Humanitarian and Development Organisations operating in Somaliland and Somalia.

During humanitarian fieldwork operations with the International and Local NGOs, Mohamed travelled different urban and rural places in East Africa, particularly Somaliland, Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. This operation buttressed his experience in Somali socioeconomics, social structure, and political culture as well as societal change.[19] He later moved to the UK for his higher education where he studied Political Science, Security Studies, International Development and Philosophy.[19]

Mohamed obtained all his higher education degrees in the United Kingdom. He did his PhD in Politics and International Relations at Manchester Metropolitan University. He subsequently attended the University of Warwick where he completed his BA Honours in Political Science, a Postgraduate Degree in Security Studies and a Masters Degree in Politics and International Studies.[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]
