Farah Sh. Abdulkadir Mohamed (Somali: Faarax Sheekh Cabdulkaadir Maxamed, Arabic: فرح الشيخ عبد القادر محمد) is a Somali politician. From January to February 2015, he served as the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs of Somalia. He was also briefly the Minister of presidential affairs.
Mohamed was born in Somalia. He hails from the Reer Aw Xasan clan.
On 20 August 2012, Mohamed was among the legislators nominated to the newly established Federal Parliament of Somalia.
On 17 January 2014, Mohamed was named Somalia's new Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs by Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed. He succeeded Abdihakim Mohamoud Haji-Faqi at the position.
On 28 August 2013, the autonomous Jubaland regional administration signed a national reconciliation agreement in Addis Ababa with the Federal Government of Somalia. Endorsed by Mohamed on behalf of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, the pact was brokered by the Foreign Ministry of Ethiopia and came after protracted bilateral talks. Under the terms of the agreement, Jubaland will be administered for a two-year period by a Juba Interim Administration and led by the region's incumbent president, Ahmed Mohamed Islam. The regional president will serve as the chairperson of a new Executive Council, to which he will appoint three deputies. Additionally, the agreement includes the integration of Jubaland's military forces under the central command of the Somali National Army (SNA), and stipulates that the Juba Interim Administration will command the regional police.
In May 2014, Prime Minister Ahmed chaired a Council of Ministers meeting during which Constitution Minister Mohamed and other Cabinet officials approved a new five-member independent Constitutional Review and Implementation Commission. After a period of debate over the oversight panel's prospective members, the ministers settled on former Puntland Minister of Women and Family Affairs Asha Gelle Dirie, as well as Hassan Omar Mahad Alle, Osman Jama Ali Kalun, Mohamed Abdalle Salah and Hassan Hussein Haji. Mohamed thanked the Cabinet for authorizing the commission, and stated that his ministry had been working diligently to form it. Prime Minister Ahmed likewise hailed the oversight body as a significant state-building initiative, and indicated that the commission's members were each knowledgeable on constitutional affairs. On 19 June 2014, the Federal Parliament approved the government committee, with 139 MPs voting in favor, 9 voting against, and 10 abstaining.
