History

Ahmad Diriye was born in 1972 in El Buur, Somalia.[2]

He is believed to be in his fifties and is a member of the Bajimaal section of the Dir clan from the Kismayo region of Somalia.[1]

Ahmad Diriye became the leader of al-Shabaab following the death of the group's former leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane, in September 2014. Prior to replacing Godane, Diriye served in several positions within al-Shabaab, including as Godane's assistant, the deputy governor of Lower Juba region in 2008, and al-Shabaab's governor of Bay and Bakool regions in 2009. By 2013, he was a senior adviser to Godane and served in al-Shabaab's "Interior Department," where he oversaw the group's domestic activity. He shares Godane's vision for al-Shabaab's terrorist attacks in Somalia as an element of al-Qa’ida's greater global aspirations.[3]

He was named Al-Shabaab leader in September 2014, after Godane was killed by a U.S. airstrike.[4]
