Zakia Hussein hails from the Surre sub-division of the wider Dir clan.
Zakia Hussein was born on February 5, 1984, in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Her father Hussein Ahmed was a doctor who became the private physician of the then President of Somalia, Siyad Barre, while her mother served as a senior officer at the Somalia Bank of Commerce while studying for her Master's degree in Business Management.
