Political Career

Huruse for the majority of his life was a businessman, only entering politics sometime in the 2010s.[1] The first time Huruse entered the political stage was on 19 July 2020, when he was elected to become the Secretary General of the Puntland political organization Mideeye.[1][4]

Minister of Foreign Affairs

On 2 August 2022, Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre appointed Huruse as the next Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in part of a wider cabinet reshuffle he organized when taking office.[5] On 13 August 2022, Huruse was officially sworn into the position along with his deputy Isaak Mohamud Mursal at a ceremony with PM Barre and the new State Minister for Foreign Affairs Ali Mohamed Omar in attendance.[6]

During his time as Foreign Minister, Huruse has argued repeatedly before the international community and the United Nations for the repeal of the arms embargo to the nation, which currently remains in effect, which he has stated is crucial if there is to be victory in the fight against Al-Shabaab in the nation.[52] On 21 October, Huruse also helped organize the opening of the country to international companies– beginning with a "major" oil agreement with Coastline Exploration Ltd.[53]
