- Defence Cabinet Secretary Yusuf Gedi

Status: Alive; captured by British forces during OP 07

Affiliations:
- Kamiran Defence Forces
- Office of the Defence Cabinet Secretary

Relations:
- Bashir Gedi (brother)

Description:

Yusuf Gedi is Kamira's Defence Cabinet Secretary and is formally responsible for civilian oversight of the Kamiran Defence Forces. He remains publicly loyal to President Samir Noor and the constitutional government but has become increasingly unable to control senior military officers or prevent the KDF acting without meaningful civilian authority.

Gedi's position gives him access to sensitive government and defence information. His limited ability to enforce civilian oversight has generated political scrutiny and represents a potential counter-intelligence concern. There is currently no evidence that Yusuf has improperly disclosed information or acted against the constitutional government.

Operation Timeline:
- OP 04: Exercised de facto authority over the remaining government following the deaths of President Samir Noor and General Malik Omar and the disappearance of Idris Aden. A majority of the fragmented KDF was reported to be consolidating around him.
- OP 05: Idris Aden's recovery denied him access to government funds and foreign aid accounts. A photograph recovered from the KGC safehouse at OBJ Veil and signed "Gedi brothers, Kambala, 2024" identified Bashir Gedi as his brother (intel).
- OP 07: Captured alive by British forces during the operation targeting the presidential compound at OBJ Sovereign in Incirkli. His current holding location has not been confirmed.
