Guled was born in 1966 in the town of Beledweyne, situated in the central Hiran region of Somalia[2] to parents who hailed from Galmudug state of Somalia.[3] He is a schoolteacher by profession.[4]
Guled is a graduate from the Department of Management at the University of Science and Technology in Yemen.[2]
From 4 November 2012 to 17 January 2014, he served as the Minister of Interior and Security of Somalia under Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon.[5] Guled's term ended when new Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed named him the Minister of the newly formed Ministry of National Security.[6]
On 24 May 2014, Guled resigned as National Security Minister following an attack by the Al-Shabaab militant group on the parliamentary building in Mogadishu. Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed approved Guled's resignation letter and was expected to appoint a new minister to the position,[4] on 4 July 2015. On 9 July 2014, Khalif Ahmed Ereg was appointed Minister of National Security of Somalia by Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed.[7]
Guled defeated Ahmed Mo'alim Fiqi and was elected the president of the Galmudug region.[8]
On 2 December 2015, Guled cosigned the Gaalkacyo Agreement with the President of Puntland Abdiweli Mohamed Ali. Although in this agreement, both presidents agreed to a ceasefire and the withdrawal of military troops, the conflict in Galkacyo continued onwards, as of October 2016.[9]
