Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on November 29, 1955)

Happy Birthday, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud! Another year older and wiser—though we're pretty sure you've already mastered the art of diplomacy better than most master birthday cake candles. Your leadership since 2012 has been nothing short of inspiring; ending a civil war isn't exactly as easy as blowing out candles, but you made it look effortless.

From tirelessly tackling corruption to championing socio-economic growth in Somalia, your dedication shines brighter each passing year. May this birthday bring laughter louder than parliamentary debates and joy sweeter than diplomatic victories. Here's wishing you continued success—and perhaps fewer meetings today!
