tell me more of his leadership style and if he was a nepotist or not?

Re: abdirishid ali shermarke (aun):


He was a man of his word...he announced major developments at time we had nothing to go on about, (many voted where they were marked on their wrist) and many voted for his government as proud Somalis without polling station. But his government lacked funds...he dealt with colonial Italy and England parallel in terms to unite Somali at time of turbulence and nationalism, and he nominated many SYL leaders in his government and gave voice to his opposition (C/risaaq X. xuseen government) in congress.

He was killed while campaigning!

This type of assignation marks that of many predicaments: JFK; DR. King; Robert Kennedy; and Malcolm X.


I miss him, with passion.

in his time as the leader there was alot of corruption which existed before him, he fought corruption. and he wasnt nepotist at all in fact when he took power the government was overpowered by majerten and the best positions were held by majerten, he fired most of them only to replace them with people from other clans, and this is what caused the problem, mjs couldnt tolerate him, he was fighting them because they wanted to dominate and he was agains that, so they killed him.

also he was the one that met jf. kennedy was a good friend with him.

this man is inspired by alot of somalis, who look upto him as the once great leader.

honest, but weak and intellectually limited.

Cabdirisaaq was superior to him in every respect. The greatest Somali politician.

maybe you didn't understand "where's Wally" part.....


Cilmiile,

I used the saying "Where's Wally" as you brought up Mr. C/risaaq x. Xuseen, hence the original say of "Where is Wally":

Where's Wally?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;

Wally, as he appeared in the first edition of Where's Wally? (1987).Where's Wally? (titled Where's Waldo? in North America) is a series of children's books created by the British illustrator Martin Handford. The goal is to find a certain man, Wally, in a busy picture full of people. Wally dresses in a red and white striped shirt and bobble hat, carries a wooden walking stick, and wears glasses. He is always losing things, including books, camping equipment and even his shoes, and readers are invited to spot these items in the illustrations as well.

The name `Wally' was most likely borrowed from an early seventies pop festival in-joke, when the call `Wally!' and `Where's Wally?' would go round at nightfall. It may have been the name of a lost sound engineer at the first Glastonbury festival, or a missing person at the 1969 Isle of Wight festival. This was a regular shout at almost any British festival event during the 1970s."
