Somalia’s President Dr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has joined the club of Africa’s most educated presidents after attaining a Ph.D. in peace studies.
Other presidents in Africa are William Ruto of Kenya, Alassane Ouattara of Ivory Coast, Moeketsi Majoro of Lesotho, and King Mohammed VI of Morocco.
Dr. Mohamud was among the 18 Ph.D. graduands who were passed out last Friday by University for Peace (UPEACE). In August this year, he defended his dissertation, titled, ‘examining the Challenges of Clan Politics in State-building: A Case Study of Somalia.’
“I sincerely thank the University for Peace for this opportunity, and as the President, I promise to establish a fund to support the education of a hundred Somali Ph.D. students at UPEACE,” Dr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said during the graduation ceremony in Mogadishu on December 2.
The graduation ceremony was the second for students in its specialised Somalia programme. The first cohort of students graduated in 2021. A total of 170 students graduated from the university with both doctoral and master’s degrees.
