Overview
Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (Farmajo), founder and Secretary-General of Tayo.

The Tayo Political Party was established in early 2012 by former Prime Minister of Somalia and President of Somalia, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (Farmajo), and members of his erstwhile Cabinet. The association was dubbed Tayo ("Quality") on account of the generally favorable reputation that his administration earned during its brief tenure.[1]

According to Mohamed, the party's primary agenda revolves around delivering services to Somalia's general population and encouraging the repatriation of Somali diasporans so as to assist in the ongoing post-conflict reconstruction process. Since stepping down from office, he has reportedly been campaigning in various global destinations to amass support for his new party, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Sweden.[1] On April 2, 2012, Maryam Qaasim, the former Minister of Women's Affairs in Mohamed's Cabinet, was elected Chairperson of the TPP. Mohamed is serving as the party's Secretary-General.[2] In the Somali presidential election of 2017, Mohamed was elected President of Somalia.

gollark: You could make a *zip* file which is both bootable and extractable, but that's because of a weird zip quirk.
gollark: Evil idea: somehow make a valid image file you can also boot from if you `dd` it straight to a disk.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free componentof a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shellutilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNUwhich is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users arenot aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just apart of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the systemthat allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux isnormally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole systemis basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
gollark: It's just that you *can* use other things.
