It is unclear why Safiya, who served as mayor for just eight months, was being replaced but the reshuffle comes as Hirshablle gets ready for elections.
The incoming mayor has a major task ahead of her. Nadar will look to organize the city into constituencies so that residents may directly elect their councillors and other local officials for the first time.
The Minister of Interior of Hirshabelle region Mohamed Ali Aadle has instructed the new mayor Nadar Tabah to take office immediately.
