Ahmed Dini Ahmed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmed Dini Ahmed (1932–12 September 2004) (Arabic: أحمد ديني أحمد) was a politician in Djibouti. He served as Vice-President of the Government Council from 1959 to 1960 as a member of the African People's League for Independence (LPAI) and as Prime Minister from 1977 to 1978 as a member of the Popular Assembly for Progress Party (RPP).
Ahmed, a member of the Afar ethnic group, was born near Mount Mabla in the north of Djibouti.[1] He represented the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD), an Afar rebel group, in the process of negotiating peace with the ruling party between 1994 and 2001. Following the signing of a reconciliation agreement between FRUD and the government in February 2000, Dini returned to Djibouti from Yemen on March 29, 2000, ending nine years of exile.[2]
He died on 12 September 2004 at a French military hospital in Djibouti.[1]
