SOMALI PM: The Man Whose Bizarre Remarks Left Many
MOGADISHU— In recent months, Hamza Abdi Barre, the Somali Prime Minister, has been the center of attention, not for his government’s dismissal performance, but rather for his perplexing and often ridiculed remarks.
In a series of peculiar speeches that have drawn widespread public attention, and garnered significant bewilderment was when Barre exclaimed, “It’s the very time that our people would have to act and think like human beings.”

The vague and puzzling nature of the statement which have been widely circulated on social media has left citizens puzzled and others ridiculing him. Politicians have also raised concerns about his leadership and ability to address pressing issues facing the nation.
Another instance that attracted significant criticism was when the Prime Minister claimed, “Over 20 dead bodies have run away from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).” Such an assertion not only seemed implausible but also cast doubts on the credibility of his government’s agencies.
The unusual phrasing and lack of clarity in his statement have left many questioning the meaning behind his words and the seriousness of the message he intended to convey.
The weird assertion of bodies fleeing from a law enforcement agency has been met with disbelief and skepticism from both the public and opposition leaders, further eroding confidence in his government’s credibility.
Perhaps one of the most concerning remarks came when Prime Minister Barre boasted about the medical expertise within the country. He asserted, “We have doctors who are skilled in the resuscitation of dead people.”
Such a statement has ignited discussions and debates about the Prime Minister’s grasp of reality and competence to handle the nation’s healthcare challenges.
Critics argue that these bizarre remarks not only divert attention from the pressing issues faced by Somalia, such as ongoing security concerns and economic struggles but also reflect poorly on the Prime Minister’s ability to effectively address the nation’s pressing issues. Despite his responsibilities as a leader, his statements have left many scratching their heads.
Meanwhile, as the public scrutiny on his peculiar comments continue to grow, opposition leaders have attempted to seize the moment, warning that the Somali Prime Minister’s penchant for making bizarre remarks has overshadowed the urgent matters that require attention.
Local analysts and political commentators have been quick to speculate on the reasons behind the Prime Minister’s surprising statements. Some suggest that his initial remarks were referring to the extensive corruption within the security apparatus, wherein detained criminal suspects who have reportedly been falsely reported as deceased during investigations were later released through bribery. Others point to the inconsistencies in the security officials’ reports about incidents related to detained suspects.
