PREFACE

The Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members of Foreign Governments directory isintended to be used primarily as a reference aid and includes as many governmentsof the world as is considered practical, some of them not officially recognized bythe United States. Regimes with which the United States has no diplomaticexchanges are indicated by the initials NDE.

Governments are listed in alphabetical order according to the most commonly usedversion of each country’s name. The spelling of the personal names in thisdirectory follows transliteration systems generally agreed upon by US Governmentagencies, except in the cases in which officials have stated a preference foralternate spellings of their names.

NOTE: Although the head of the central bank is listed for each country, inmost cases he or she is not a Cabinet member. Ambassadors to theUnited States and Permanent Representatives to the UN, New York,have also been included.

Somalia

Somalia has lacked any internationally recognized central government since the fall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991. The country is currently controlled by various political and regional factions as well as local warlords in the south and in two “republics” in the north. The former British colony of Somaliland—consisting of five districts in the northwest—declared independence in 1991, and the northeastern region—known as Puntland—declared autonomy in 1998.
