Ahmed Dini Ahmed vs Shirley Baker

Ahmed Dini Ahmed was appointed the first Prime Minister of Djibouti after independence from France. He served under President Hassan Gouled Aptidon and helped establish the new nation's government.

Ahmed Dini Ahmed resigned as Prime Minister due to disagreements with President Gouled over political direction and ethnic representation. His resignation marked a split in the ruling party and led to his move into opposition.

Ahmed Dini Ahmed founded the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD), an armed opposition group that launched a rebellion against President Gouled's government. The conflict lasted until a peace agreement in 1994.

King George Tupou I appointed Shirley Baker, a Wesleyan missionary, as Prime Minister of Tonga. Baker had previously served as a missionary and advisor to the king, and his appointment marked the influence of missionary advisors in Tongan government.

Baker implemented land reforms that redistributed land from traditional chiefs to commoners, aiming to create a more equitable society. The reforms broke the power of the old aristocracy but caused social upheaval and resistance from displaced chiefs.

Baker ordered the expulsion of Roman Catholic missionaries from Tonga, accusing them of undermining the Protestant establishment and the authority of the king. This action caused diplomatic tensions with France and other Catholic powers.

Following political pressure from British and German authorities, and accusations of corruption and misrule, Baker was forced into exile from Tonga. He left the country under threat of arrest and never returned, ending his influence over Tongan politics.
