Bio

Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, known as Irro, is a Somali politician serving since December 2024 as the sixth President of Somaliland, a self-declared republic that governs the northwestern regions from Hargeisa.

Description

Codkaaga lists Somaliland here for completeness with a neutral jurisdiction label and takes no position on its political status. Somaliland declared independence in 1991 and governs itself; that status is not internationally recognized and is contested by the federal government. The dispute is over the territory's status, not the person who holds its presidency.

Verification note

Office as the sixth President of Somaliland, in office since December 2024, confirmed by Wikipedia (Tier B). Somaliland's independence claim and its disputed, internationally unrecognized status are recorded as a labeled dispute, consistent with the neutral classification used in the federal-member-state listing. Codkaaga takes no position. Sensitive copy pending native review (messages/REVIEW-NEEDED.md).
