Liban was one of the founders of Galmudug State when the
autonomous region was established in August 2006 and Galkayo
was declared the new polity’s capital.
He played a big part in discussions held in Adado and made it
possible for the south of Mudug to participate in the meeting which
eventually led to the expansion of the Galmudug administration.
Liban Ahmed was a member of the 27-person-committee that
established Galmudug.
He also served as the Secretary of the election committee in 2016
that oversaw the election of Galmudug representatives in the
Federal Parliament of Somalia.
In that region, he has done exemplary jobs such as the removal of
the checkpoints of the clan militias on the roads using diplomatic
strategies.
In addition to that he led a campaign of reconciliation between the
communities who were engaged in conflicts and also to disarm
local clan militias.
In 2023, he organised local militias dubbed ‘Maawisley’ who fought
against the Al-Shabaab group and liberated many districts and
areas in Galmudug.
Top officials of the local army have confirmed that he spent a lot of
resources on the organisation and the maintenance of the army.
