Presidents of Somalia, 1960–1991

Adan Abd Allah Utman Daar 1 July 1960 – 10 June 1967
Abdirashid Ali Shermarke 10 June 1967 – 15 October 1969
Muhammad Siad Barre 21 October 1969 – 27 January 1991
Ali Mahdi Muhammad (interim) 29 January 1991 – about November 1991


Since November 1991, there has been no single recognized government of Somalia. Ali Mahdi Muhammad continued to claim that he was still President, but he no longer exercised any real authority. On 15 June 1995 the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid claimed the presidency until his death on 1 August 1996, when the claim was taken up by his son, Hussein Aidid, until 20 March 1998. On 27 August 2000, Abdiqasim Salad Hassan was recognized as President in exile in Djibouti, returning to the country in October. His authority remained limited to the Mogadishu area, however. Abdullahi Yusuf was elected president in Nairobi on October 10, 2004.
