His Excellency the President of the Republic of Somaliland, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud “Siilaanyo”, strolled into Westfield Shopping centre of West London, to mingle with shoppers and diners in the area.
With the President on his early evening stroll in Westfield was the First Lady, Amina Mohamoud Jirdeh, the President’s personal Secretary, Ali Ahmed Ali, one of the young advisors at the Presidency, Khadar Ali Gass, the former CEO of the Somaliland National Television.
The President’s health has been the subject of hot debate in Somaliland in recent days with some going to great lengths to prove that the President was so incapacitated that he was being prepared for a major operation.
The government accused Waddani, one of the two opposition parties in Somaliland, of propagating and spreading unfounded rumors against the President’s health stemming from that party’s virulent opposition against the government’s grant of a military base to the UAE in Berbera.
The President’s appearance in Westfield dissipated all suspicions and fears surrounding the president’s health.
His Excellency the President is on a short personal leave in the United Kingdom.
