[ChestyMcGee]

[quote=BBC, 09/09/11][B]A north London school support teacher has resigned from his job after unexpectedly being appointed as deputy prime minister of Somalia.[/B]

Mohamed Ibrahim had been a learning support teacher at Newman Catholic College in Harlesden for two years when he was appointed to the post.

The 64-year-old has also taken up the role of minister for foreign affairs.

Head teacher of the school, Richard Kolka, said he was "awestruck" by the news.[/quote]

That's pretty strange. I hope he does well in his new position.

I came in here expecting some kind of nigerian-scam-gone-wrong situation, but this is cool too.

[TropicalV2]

El presidente, do you wish to hire a foreign expert?

[trotskygrad]

he must have pretty deep connections there

[Randdalf]

Cool until he realizes he wields about as much power as a deputy learning support teacher because of Somalia's current state.

[DainBramageStud]

did they just throw a dart at a map and select whoever lived closest to it?

[Smartlord]

What the hell?

Why'd they specifically choose him, he's just a teacher :v:

[jaredop]

He'll probably get paid less
