Somali politician
Said Hussein Iid (Somali: Siciid Xuseen Ciid, Arabic: سعيد حسين عيد) is a Somali politician. He hails from the northeastern Puntland region of Somalia,[1] and belongs to the Arab Salah Meheri clan. Iid previously served as the Chairman of the Puntland Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture.[2] In January 2015, he was briefly named the new Minister of Health-designate of Somalia by Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke.[3] 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.[4] On 27 January 2015, Sharmarke appointed a new, smaller 20 minister cabinet and was named the new Minister of Livestock and Pasture of Somalia.[5] He has now been succeeded by Sheikh Nur Mohamed Hassan.[6]
