@ Middayexpress: Generally, it makes sense to list a person's current occupation first, followed by their important historical positions. "Abdulle ... is a senior military figure and politician..." is not accurate, since he retired from the military and is also apparently no longer an MP. If you think people really need something more than "ambassador to Italy" to describe what he "is", the following seems clean and accurate:
...also known as Musa Hassan Abdulle, [1] is a Somali diplomat and Somalia's ambassador to Italy. [2] He was formerly a brigadier general in the Somali National Army, the acting president of Somalia, and interim speaker of the Federal Parliament. [3]
What's your issue with this wording? It's simple, clear, and accurate. —[ AlanM1( talk)]— 11:42, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
"is a Somali diplomat, former politician and former senior military figure" though I would just leave out the last two, since the following sentences about being a general and MP make it clear those were his occupations. This is how I had it at first – without the occupations.
