Career
On 29 June 2020, Diriye was appointed Governor of Gebiley in a presidential reshuffle and served until 2 November 2021.[1]
In November 2021, he became Governor of Sool.[3] His appointment and the simultaneous appointment of a new Las Anod police commander (a Dhulbahante/Baharsame) were viewed by many Las Anod elites as harsh and as obstructing local progress.[3]

On 12 January 2025, he was succeeded as Governor of Sool by Ahmed Farah Osman Abdi by presidential decree.[2]
