Transitional Federal Government
Adan Mohamed Nuur "Madobe" is a representative on the Transitional Federal Parliament (TFP), which in November 2004, authorized the Transitional Federal Government and approved the Transitional Federal Charter in a conference held in Nairobi, Kenya.
He was appointed Justice Minister of the nascent TFG appointed by the approval of Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Ghedi's second cabinet lineup of January 2005, but a new court system was only established in Somalia after the defeat of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) in January 2007.
In May 2005, rival parliamentarian and warlord Muhammad Ibrahim Habsade accused Madobe and Agriculture Minister Hassan Mohamed Nuur "Shatigudud" of attacking Baidoa to take the city on behalf of President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, who later used the city to establish a new interim capital within the country. Nineteen were killed, many of them civilians, and 28 wounded in the fight over the city.

“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. It’d still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
