Meet the new Somali Ambassador to Canada!

[Odkac WRLD]

He is from Borama, so it can be assumed he is Samaroon. A graduate from Amoud University and former Vice Minister of Health in the Somaliland government, Hassan Dhimbil will be serving as the Somali Ambassador to Canada.

Canada vowed to restore strong diplomatic ties with Somalia in the form of embassies in 2013, and Xassan says he wishes to expedite that process. Inshallah we will have an embassy in Ottawa soon. Congrats to Mr. Dhimbil, hope he practiced his French.

Thoughts from our resident Somali-Canadians?

It is significant because Canada holds one of the largest Somali diasporas and still does not have a physical embassy in Canada, and this guy plans to work towards having one. Also interesting because his last job was with the SL gov but he works in Xamar now.

How can Somalia trust a guy who served as a minister in a separatist governement who hates Somalia and it's citizens? How do we know he is going to work for somalia's agenda and not for SL?
