Abdirizak Haji Hussein
(Somali:
Cabdirasaaq Xaaji Xuseen;
born 1924) in the Galkayo, Mudug
Region of Somalia, was Prime
Minister of Somalia from 14 June
1964 to 15 July 1967 when the
country was controlled by the Somali
Youth League (SYL).
In May 6, 2001, an effort by the
Transitional National Government (TNG)
to create a 25-member working body,
dubbed the National Commission for
Reconciliation and Property
Settlement (NCRPS), was damaged when
Abdirizak Haji Hussein was named as
its head. The Somalia Reconciliation
and Restoration Council (SRRC) and
Puntland leadership objected
strongly. Hussein later resigned on
July 25, 2001.
