Professor Ibrahim Hassan Addou (Somali: Ibraahin Xasan Caddoow) (M.Ed, PHD) is the head of foreign affairs department for the Islamic Courts of Somalia. He lived in the United States and worked as an administrator at American University in Washington, D.C., before returning to Somalia in 1999. He is the dean of Benadir University in Mogadishu and has respresented the Islamic courts in its ongoing discussions in Khartoum and Nairobi with the Somali transitional government.
On January 8, 2007 as the Battle of Ras Kamboni raged, Prof. Addow, speaking from Yemen, said the Islamic Courts was ready to enter negotiations with the Transitional Federal Government. However, TFG President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed categorically refused to hold peace talks at this stage.[1]
