Somalia’s Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Dr. Maryan Qasim Ahmed suddenly resigned on Wednesday, citing personal circumstances.

The minister announced her resignation during a press conference in Mogadishu.

Qasim who was among the cabinet appointed by Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre in late March this year has made a significant work on the humanitarian situation in the country.

She becomes the second minister to resign since last month as the government is struggling to step up the fight against Al Shabaab and restore peace in Somalia.
