Brigadier General Mohamed Ainanshe Guled (Somali: Maxamed Caynaanshe Guuleed Faarax Caynaanshe) was a Somali military officer and politician who served as the first vice president of Somalia from 1969 to 1971.[1][2]
A prominent military figure in Somalia during the 1960s, he led the 1969 Somali coup d'état along with Siad Barre that established Barre's regime and the Somali Democratic Republic. However, his discontent with Barre's rule over the country and power struggle within the latter's government ultimately led to his demise and execution, after he and other officials were accused of plotting to overthrow Siad Barre's regime in 1971.[3]
