Former Prime Minister Now Cubicle Dweller in Buffalo

Mohamed A. Mohamed was a native of Somalia living in Buffalo, New York for the past twenty years. When the president of Somalia asked him to become the prime minister of the war torn country he took the job to try and do some good for his countrymen. Now nine months later he is back at his office cubicle job for the Department of Transportation.
A few photos of him as premier were tacked to his wall by colleagues, the only visible reminder that these last nine months weren't a dream.

"It's a different feeling when you're heading a whole nation and you come back to your normal life," Mohamed said. "It's a little awkward, to tell you the truth."

Mohamed, 49, a Somali native who resettled in Buffalo more than 20 years ago, was forced out as Somalia's prime minister in June, ending his remarkable months-long odyssey as abruptly as it began.

He returned to his job at the DOT on Thursday, as he tries to settle into his old life as civil servant, husband and father living on Grand Island.
