Somalia’s parliament has reelected former President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud following marathon voting in Mogadishu on Sunday. He graduated from Somali National University with a bachelor's degree in technology and received a master’s in technical education from Barkatullah University. The September 17 agreement faced a setback on April 12, 2021, when the Somali parliament controversially extended the mandate of the parliament and the president by two years. She also said the new president needs to work on making sure the Somali people directly elect the next president. Jihan Abdullahi Hassan, former director of the Somali Ministry of Defense, said the new president must restore discipline among the military.
