Originally published

The new Somali president Abdi Kasem Salad Hasan has appointed a prime minister in an important step for forming the first formal government in Somalia since 10 years.

The Somali president assigned Ali Kheleif Kalayeed to form the new Sumali government.

Kalayeed, 58 years old, belongs to Daroud tribe which controls some areas in Middle of Somalia and he has previously assumed a ministerial post in the era of president Siyadi Berri who was toppled in 1991.

The Somali chief Hussein Aideed who objects to the new president's reign and considers as illegal choosing Ali Kheleif Kalayeed as a prime minister said that any government will not be legal and that he will launch a war in Mogadishu.
