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, on 4 July 2015.
