Ali Mohammed Gedi (Somali: Cali Maxamed Geeddi, Arabic: علي محمد جيدي) (born 2 October 1952), popularly known as Ali Gedi,[1] is a Somali politician who was the Prime Minister of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia from 2004 to 2007. He was relatively unknown in political circles upon his appointment as prime minister in November 2004. He is affiliated with the Abgaal subclan of Mogadishu's Hawiye clan, one of Somalia's four most powerful clan 'families'.[2] He narrowly survived a suicide attack at his home that left at least seven people dead on June 3, 2007.[3] Gedi was widely viewed as corrupt, and was replaced by Nur Hassan Hussein as PM during late 2007.[4]

The November 2007 replacement of former Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi with Nur 'Adde' Hassan Hussein raised hopes for a political breakthrough in Somalia. Gedi was universally viewed as corrupt and a major obstacle to efforts at reconciliation.
