Amina Mohamed of the WTO: Ethnic Somali?

Recommended Posts

I think some of you Sujuis would know. Is this Kenyan Ambassador/Rep to the World Trade Organization an ethnic Somali or from another ethnic group (indian)? Just wondering. She surely does look Somali and she is carrying a Muslim name.

 

She is the head of the selection committe that will pick the next WTO chairman. Good to see a sister "doin her thang" as they say in America. :D

"Lamy, the former European Union trade chief, was followed by the foreign minister of Mauritius, Jayen Krishna Cuttaree, and Uruguay's former ambassador to the WTO Carlos Perez del Castillo, said Amina Mohamed, Kenya's ambassador to the WTO and head of the election process."

 

"Ambassador Mohamed is a graduate of Oxford University and was Chairman of the International Organization for Migration in 2003, and Coordinator, in 2002, of the WTO's African Group, of which 41 nations are members."

Yeah, she's Somali. I believe she also holds the position of Kenyan Ambassador to Switzerland. Ms Amina Chawahir Mohammad.

 

Also MR. MAHAMUD MOHAMED MAALIM, AMBASSADOR for Kenya to Egypt

are you saying..that HIJABEES reach nowhere and someone must get semi nude to reach that level.. smile.gif..Western mentality..

 

Look at the picture of the United Arab Emirates Minister for Finance..Sheikha Qassimi..A hijabee..

 

Yacni Hijabees don't reach anywhere..Only semi nude like AYAAN HIRSI who pasted quranic scripts on her naked body..Acudhu billah..reach the sky..

 

ati ..Western mentality.. smile.gif

That cannot happen in Kenya, or even in a secular Muslim country like Egypt or Turkey. It could happen in a country like Iran. My point was, it's highly unlikely a muhajibah would hold a higher position in a secular or predominantly Christian country. Such Muslims in higher position often have to compromise with the teachings of Islam in order to be accepted within the environment they work.
