Per the Transitional Federal Government's (TFG) Charter,[36] Prime Minister Mohamed named a new Cabinet on 12 November 2010,[37] which has been lauded by the international community.[38][39] The allotted ministerial positions were reduced from 39 to 18.[37][40] Only two Ministers from the previous Cabinet were reappointed: Hussein Abdi Halane, the former Minister of Finance and a well-regarded figure in the international community,[41] was put in charge of a consolidated Ministry of Finance and Treasury; and Dr. Mohamud Abdi Ibrahim remained the minister of Commerce and Industry.[41] Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a, a moderate Sufi group and an important military ally of the TFG, was also accorded the key Interior and Labour ministries.[40][41] The remaining ministerial positions were largely assigned to technocrats new to the Somali political arena.[42]
