Said Hussein Iid

Said Hussein Iid (Somali: Siciid Xuseen Ciid, Arabic: وقال حسين عيد‎) is a Somali politician. He hails from the northeastern Puntland region of Somalia,[1] and belongs to the Arab Salah subclan of the Mehri.[2] Iid previously served as the Chairman of the Puntland Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture.[3] In January 2015, he was briefly named the new Minister of Health-designate of Somalia by Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke.[4] However, he only served 2 weeks when on 17 January 2015, Prime Minister Sharmarke dissolved his newly nominated cabinet due to vehement opposition by legislators, who rejected the reappointment of certain former ministers.[5] On 27 January 2015, Sharmarke appointed a new, smaller 20 minister cabinet of which Said Hussein Iid was replaced by Hawo Hassan Mohamed. Instead, he was named the new Minister of Livestock and Pasture of Somalia.[2] He has now been succeeded by Sheikh Nur Mohamed Hassan.[6]
