Biography

Personal life

Nur was raised in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. He is married to Shamis, with whom he has six children.[1][2]

When the Somali Civil War broke out in the early 1990s, he and his family emigrated to London in 1993. The family initially stayed in Hackney, later relocating to the Queen's Crescent neighborhood, where they are still based.[2]

Education

Nur subsequently pursued higher education studies, graduating from the University of Westminster.[2]

Career

In an administrative capacity, Nur worked as a business advisor to the Islington Council in London.[1]

In 2006, he unsuccessfully campaigned for a seat as a Labour Party councillor in Fortune Green.[2]

Nur also established and ran the Kentish Town Somali Welfare Association, the first such Somali community organization in Kentish Town. Based in the Queen's Crescent Community Centre, it offers support and direction to new immigrants.[2]

Mayor of Mogadishu

In 2010, through his involvement with a Somali political organization in the diaspora, Nur was appointed Mogadishu's new Mayor.[1]

Since taking office, Nur's administration has enacted a number of reforms in a bid to improve the city's security and service delivery, including starting a garbage collection program, erecting proper streetlights and providing around-the-clock electricity, sacking corrupt public officials, and offering formal police protection. The municipal government has also firmed up on traffic safety, fining motorists who drive without lights, in the wrong street lanes or carrying excessive loads.[1]
