Last updated

Ali Mohamed Daoud, also known as Jean-Marie [1] [2] (born 28 August 1950 [3] ), is a Djiboutian politician and the President of the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD). He is currently a member of the National Assembly of Djibouti.

Life and career

Daoud is a member of the Afar ethnic group. [4] FRUD, fighting on behalf of Afar interests, began a rebellion against the Issa-dominated government in 1991. Daoud led the moderate faction of FRUD in signing a peace agreement with the government in December 1994. As a result of the agreement, [5] he joined the government (together with one other FRUD member, Secretary-General Ougouré Kiflé Ahmed [6] [7] ) as Minister of Public Health and Social Affairs on 8 June 1995. [3] [6] Daoud's faction of FRUD also allied with the governing People's Rally for Progress (RPP). [5] On 15–16 April 1997, FRUD held its First Congress; Daoud, who was already FRUD President, remained in that position at the congress. [4] Daoud was elected to the National Assembly in the December 1997 parliamentary election [3] as the first candidate on the joint candidate list of the RPP and FRUD for Tadjourah Region. [8]

Daoud was moved from his post as Minister of Public Health and Social Affairs to that of Minister of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and the Sea on 12 May 1999; [9] he was also assigned responsibility for hydraulic resources. [3] After holding that post for two years, he was omitted from the government that was appointed on 4 July 2001. [10] FRUD held its Second Ordinary Congress on 28–29 April 2002, and Daoud was re-elected as FRUD President. [11]

Daoud was re-elected in the January 2003 parliamentary election [3] as the first candidate on the candidate list of the ruling coalition, the Union for a Presidential Majority (UMP), in Tadjourah Region. [12] In this election, the other, more radical wing of FRUD, led by Ahmed Dini Ahmed, participated in the election as part of the opposition; Daoud criticized Ahmed as a "perpetual loser". [13]

President Ismail Omar Guelleh awarded the medal of the Commander of the Great Star of Djibouti to Daoud and Ougouré Kiflé Ahmed during independence day celebrations on 27 June 2004. [14] At FRUD's Third Congress, held on 30–31 May 2007, Daoud was re-elected as President of FRUD by acclamation, without opposition. [15] He was again re-elected to the National Assembly in the February 2008 parliamentary election as the second candidate on the UMP's candidate list for the city of Djibouti. [16]
