Aden Madobe

Aden Mohamed Nuur Madobe (Somali: Aaden Maxamed Nuur Madoobe, Arabic: آدم محمد نور مادوبي, Maay: Sheeg Ethyng Mothoowy, born 15 April 1956), popularly known as Aden Madobe,[1] is a Somali politician who is the current Speaker of the Lower House of the Federal Parliament of Somalia since April 2022.

[3] Madobe served as the First Deputy Chairman of the Rahanweyn Resistance Army (RRA), one of the factions of the Somali Civil War.

In 2003, he temporarily split with his fellow RRA leader Hassan Mohamed Nur "Shatigadud", though they later reconciled and both served as ministers in the Transitional Federal Government (TFG).

[3] In May 2005, rival parliamentarian and faction leader Muhammad Ibrahim Habsade accused Madobe and Agriculture Minister Hassan Mohamed Nuur "Shatigudud" of attacking Baidoa to take the city on behalf of President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed's TFG.

His predecessor at the position Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan was voted out by the legislature on January 17, 2007 due to his alleged support for the Islamic Courts Union (ICU).
