Mohamed Ali Nur, popularly known as "Ambassador Americo", was the Somali Ambassador to Kenya from October 2007 to April 2015.[1] He was also a candidate in the 2017 Somali presidential election.[2]
In 2007, Nur played a key role in the reopening of the Somali Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, which had been closed for 17 years due to the outbreak of the Somali Civil War.[3] He led the campaign that repossessed the prime embassy property in Nairobi that had been irregularly sold to private individuals in 1994 after the collapse of the Somalia government.[4]
Nur emerged as a symbol of reconciliation in a war-torn Somalia in September 2014 when he unconditionally forgave a man who confessed to being part of a gang that killed his 18-month-old daughter in 1992.[1] Since then, he has sought to use his story to promote reconciliation and peace in Somalia.[5] He also supports education, health, water and environmental conservation initiatives in Somalia through Yasmin Foundation, a non-profit organization he established with his family in 2010, in memory of his late daughter.
