Presidents of Somalia, 1960-1991

• Aden Abdullah Osman Daar: 1 July 1960 - 10 June 1967
• Abdirashid Ali Shermarke: 10 June 1967 - 15 October 1969
• Muhammad Siad Barre: 21 October 1969 - 27 January 1991
• Ali Mahdi Muhammad (interim): 29 January 1991 - about November 1991

Since November 1991, there has been no single recognized government of Somalia. Ali Mahdi Muhammad continued to claim the presidency, but exercised little authority. On 15 June 1995 the warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid claimed the presidency until his death on 1 August 1996, when the claim was taken up by his son, Hussein Aidid, until 20 March 1998. On 27 August 2000, Abdiqasim Salad Hassan was recognized as president in exile in Djibouti, returning to the country in October. His authority remains limited to the Mogadishu area, however.
