BAIDOA, Somalia, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi reshuffled his cabinet on Wednesday, sacking three ministers as the government seeks to reassert its authority in the chaotic nation since a New Year war ousted rival Islamists.

A government statement said Health Minister Abdiaziz Sheikh Yusuf, Higher Education & Culture Minister Hussein Mohamud Sheikh Hussein and Mineral & Water Resources Minister Mohamud Salad Nuur had been relieved from their positions.

There were 10 changes made in total in the reshuffle, including that of Interior Minister Hussein Mohamed Farah Aideed who now takes on the public works portfolio.
