Dr. Mohamed Omar Hagi Mohamoud (Somali: Dr. Maxamed Cumar Xaaji Maxamuud, Arabic: محمد عمر حاج محمود) (born January 1981), also known as Dr. Mohamed Hagi is a Somali diplomat, politician and academic currently serving as the Chief Representative of the Republic of Somaliland Representative Office in Taiwan.[1] [2] Mohamed combines considerable distinctive feats of being a professional person in the various fields of diplomacy, academia, policy-making programmes and strategic systems of governance. Mohamed also gives academic lectures and presentations to postgraduate students in politics, diplomacy and international affairs mainly about Africa, the Middle East and recently in the Asia Pacific region.[3]

Prior foreign diplomatic posting, Mohamed was a Senior Political Adviser at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Somaliland. He also served the Ministry of Finance Development as a Senior Policy Adviser on strategic planning and the macroeconomic policy reform.[4] Prior to his public career, Mohamed worked as an Executive Director, Programme Manager and a senior policy adviser for international and United Nations agencies in Somaliland and abroad.[5]

Formal education and early life

Mohamed was born and raised in Hargeisa. He began his early Mal'amad Qur'an and primary schooling in 1986 in Hargeisa, which was disrupted by the Somali Civil War in 1988. Mohamed continued his primary and intermediate formal education from Sheikh Madar and Biyo Dha'ay schools soon after Somaliland restored its sovereignty from the union with Somalia in 1991. Mohamed studied business administration and project management at local colleges in Hargeisa. He later moved to the United Kingdom for his higher education where he studied political science, security studies, and international development and philosophy.

Mohamed obtained all his higher education degrees in the United Kingdom. He did his PhD in Politics and International Relations at Manchester Metropolitan University. He subsequently attended the University of Warwick where he completed his BA Honours in Political Science, a Postgraduate Degree in Security Studies and a Masters Degree in Politics and International Studies.
