General Mohamud Haji Mohamed Barrow (Somali: Maxamuud Maxamed) is a former Kenyan military commander, and was Chief of General Staff of the Kenyan military[1] and Commander Kenya Army.
Mohamed was born to an ethnic Somali community in northeastern Kenya.[2][3] His younger brother Hussein Maalim Mohamed was Kenya's Minister of State in the office of the presidency, the first Somali to be appointed to the cabinet.[4]
On 1 August 1982, Mohamed commanded Kenyan military and police forces in a successful suppression of a coup d'état attempt against then President of Kenya Daniel arap Moi.[5] The putsch had been staged by a group of low-ranking military officers led by Senior Private Hezekiah Ochuka, who was later found guilty of five overt acts and sentenced to death by hanging.[6]
Mohamed would remain the Chief of General Staff of the Kenya Defence Forces for the next ten years.[1]
