==Biograpy==
Mahamed Abdi is from the [[Qayaad]] branch of the [[Dhulbahante]] clan. <ref name=hds/><ref name=hoehne/>

Mahamed Abdi was born in the rural community of Hargaga, west of [[Las Anod]] in the [[Sool]] region. <ref name=gj20200712/>

A son, [[Abdirahman Mohamed Abdi Hashi]], was born in September 1955. <ref name=gj20170323/>

===Political careers===
He chaired the United Somali Party (USP), a political organization created in 1991.

In January 1993 he attended a Somali civil war reconciliation conference in [[Addis Ababa]], [[Ethiopia]].<ref name=usip19930108/>。

At the end of 1996, Mahamed Abdi and other anti-Somaliland factions with the support of the [[diaspora]] held a [[Dhulbahante]] clan meeting in [[Bo'ame]], where a resolution was passed to unite the [[Halti]], consisting of the Dhulbahante clan and others. This was one of the triggers for the later founding of [[Puntland]]. <ref name=hoehne/>

===Vice President Puntland to Interim President===
In 1998, when [[Puntland]] was founded, [[Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed]] became president. <ref name="auto1"/>

According to a pre-election agreement, the president was to come from the [[Majeerteen]] clan, the vice president from the [[Dulbahante]] clan, and the speaker of the assembly from the [[Warsangali]] clan. The vice presidency was to be contested among the branches of the Dulbahante clan, with Mahamed Abdi, [[Ahmed Abdi Mohamed]], and Yasin Ali Abdulle Tamat, of which Mahamed Abdi became vice president.<ref name= hoehne2011/>{{rp|196}}

Mahamed Abdi would serve as vice president (and interim president) for the next six-plus years, often at odds with the power-hungry President Yusuf. <ref name=pt20200712/>

Meanwhile, to end the [[Somali Civil War]], other countries supported the reconstruction of the central government of Somalia, and the [[Transitional Federal Government of Somalia]] was established as a preparatory body. Mahamed Abdi became president of Puntland as a bridge until the next Puntland presidential elections. <ref name="auto1"/><ref name=ewy/>

Note that Abdullahi Yusuf was ousted from the presidency once in 2001, and for a few months, people such as [[Yusuf Haji Nur]] and [[Jama Ali Jama]] took over as president, so Mahamed Abdi is formally the fifth president of Puntland. However, Yusuf Haji Nur and Jama Ali Jama were soon ousted militarily, and Yusuf became president again, so Mahamed Abdi is sometimes described as the “''second'' president of Puntland." <ref name=go20200712/> On the other hand, he is sometimes referred to as the acting president because of his elevated position from vice president until the next presidential election.<ref name=wsopuntland/>

At the end of October 2004, fighting broke out between Puntland and neighboring [[Somaliland]] to the west. In response, President Mahamed Abdi sent a letter to President [[Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed]] of the [[Transitional Federal Government of Somalia]] saying that the situation was “very dangerous.” <ref name=it20041029/>

On January 8, 2005, Mahamed Abdi ran for President of Puntland, but the parliamentary vote resulted in 30 votes for Mahamed Abdi and 35 votes for [[[Mohamud Muse Hersi]]<ref name=rw200510/>, and Mahamed Muse Hersi was elected President of Puntland<ref name=auto1/>.

===Thereafter===
In April 2019, Mahamed Abdi received a visit from Puntland President [[Said Abdullahi Deni]] at his home in [[Nairobi]], Kenya.<ref name=dj20190425/>

Mahamed Abdi fell ill in [[Nairobi]], Kenya, and died shortly thereafter on July 12, 2020.<ref name=wn20200712/><ref name=saf/> Mahamed Abdi was buried in [[Garowe]], the capital of Puntland.<ref name=hm20200715/><ref name=voa20201119/>。

==Family==
*[[Abdirahman Mohamed Abdi Hashi]] - Son. Former Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
