Masagawaay — A delegation led by Eng. Hassan Mohamoud Mohamed, widely known as “Gaashaan Yare,” has arrived in Masagawaay, a central town in Somalia’s Galgaduud region, to support ongoing operations aimed at liberating areas still under the control of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab.
While in the region, Eng. Hassan met with government troops and encouraged them to intensify their national duty and continue their mission until Al-Shabaab is fully defeated.
“We came here as a delegation from the DhagaweyneCumar clan to commend and support the brave Somali National Army and local forces who are sacrificing their lives to protect the nation,” said Eng. Hassan. “These heroes are engaged in a fierce battle with the extremist group Al-Shabaab. In response to the President’s call, we stand in solidarity with our armed forces. We have handed over two camels and food supplies today—but our support will not stop here; we will continue to stand with our troops.”
The delegation, composed of traditional elders, politicians, and youth from the Dhagaweyne Cumar sub-clan of the Waceysle clan—one of the clans in Galmudug—delivered vital humanitarian aid to the Somali National Army (SNA) and local community forces actively fighting against the extremist militants in Masagawaay and Ceeldheer. The assistance included live animals and food supplies.
Mr. Hassan recently returned to Somalia after nearly 30 years in the diaspora, driven by a patriotic commitment to contribute to the country’s reconstruction and governance. He is a well-respected professional who once worked at the former Mogadishu Power Station before leaving for the United Kingdom 35 years ago to pursue higher education.
He holds both Bachelor’s and Double Master’s degrees in Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Design, Management, and EU Business Management. Throughout his career in the UK, he worked with major institutions including:
Bradwell Power Station
British Steel
Jaguar and Land Rover
Ocado (Smart Warehouse – Engineering Information)
NHS (Project Facility Engineer – Capital Equipment Procurement, CAPEX)
The engineer has now returned home with a firm commitment to play an active role in rebuilding Somalia and supporting national development.
