Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo on Monday overturned the suspension of a top spy chief, hours after Prime Minister Hussein Roble had given him marching orders.
Mr Fahad Yassin, a former Al-Jazeera journalist, had been shown the door for mishandling the disappearance of a spy agent who the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) later announced had been murdered by Al-Shabaab militants.
