Mr. Beendiid, can you tell us a brief bio about the father of the Republic? Including what happened after he was refused passport renewal?What was named after Abdullahi Ciise ? He didn't have even a street named after him ? He was the father of the Republic and yet ended up dying stateless after the regime refused to renew his passport at the Somali Embassy in Rome.
Interesting details. Is there an autobiography of him?Arabman,
He passed away in Rome after spending nearly 1 year to clear up the Norwegian oil scandal of 1985. He had brokered a deal with the Norwegian government to explore for oil in Somalia and the Somali government agreed. The Norwegians had deposited several million dollars with the Somali government to be used in explorations. The deal never panned out and Abdullahi who served as Ambassador to the Scandanavian countries had to go to Mogadishu to convince the government to proceed with the deal or to refund the Norwegians. MSB refused to proceed with the deal because of his advisors who cautioned him that if oil was discovered that credit would go to Abdullahi Isse and not him not to mention the oil drilling sites were in lands not inhabited by his qabiil. Abdullahi spent 1 year at the Al Uruba hotel and finally got the very last $ refunded and left Somalia before resigning as Ambassador. The Italian government, the very same government he fought to free Somalia from, gave him a residence permit and allowed him to stay in Rome for as long as he wished. When his passport expired, the regime in mogadishu refused to renew it and so he died effectively stateless.
Before he died, he wrote in his will that his funeral should not be managed or lead by the regime and not $1 of the regime's money be used in organizing his funeral. He suffered at the hands of the regime and was jailed after the 1969 coup even though he had saved Siyad's job as Chief of Police after Siyaad complained to Abdullahi's mother who was his relative. His mother obliged her son to save his Abti's job and he did so.
During his lifetime, he never once publicly criticized the regime as he saw viewed it would be hypocritical to insult the very nation he helped bring to independence. How can a father publicly criticize his son even if he became wayward.
Yalaxow, waad ku dhacday. She was a real person and she was one of the first people that died from our freedom.Xaawo taako is a fictional story.. its a mythical hero character which was created By siyaad bare goverment .. the historical person xaaawo existed but long after she died the kacaan goverment started to create a fictional hero women character and the best person suited was late Xaawo was 99.999% somalis did not ever heard here name before..
there are also other fictional hero characters in somalia created by kacaankii siyaad barre goverment.. people like XALANE who was name the milatery academy in mogadishu.
xalane as person existed and he died 1964 somalia ethiopian war but he was regular soldier and not the character known as GEESIGII XALANE isagoo xabado ku dhacaya ayuu calankii somalia oo cadawga dhex yaala isku soo duubduubay ayuu la soo orday ka dibna gabay tiriyey isagoo sii dhimanaya.. thats offfical story of mr xalane..
XAAWO TAAKO= SHEEKADII DHAGDHEER..
Xaawo taako was a Caucasian Somali lady, bax waryaa!as a historical person yes women called xaawo niknamed taako existed, she was killed mudaaharaadkii somalis vs local arabs supported by italian so called dhagaxtuur day which many somalis died including xaawo taako. but xaawo was no leader figur neither hero. . and long after she died the kacaanka goverment fabricated this hero sttus of late xaawo taako ..
Many popular heroes are remembered in the folklore literature of the Somali people where they are immortalized in the ancient oral traditions. These popular heroes fall into two categories: 1) imaginary heroes, and 2) real personalities. The latter are well-known in the nation's recorded history for they are men and women who lived and accomplished great deeds for the good of their people in diverse fields of life. As a sign of gratitude to these great men and women, the people cherish and preserve the memory of these heroes in the form of monuments built in their honour, books written on their exemplary lives and deeds. Examples are Sayid Maxamed Cabdille Xasan, Sheekh Axmed Gabyow, Xaawo Taako and many others.
In contrast, the imaginary popular heroes, like Dhegdheer and Arraweelo, exist only in the wonderful tales, songs, etc., created by the fantasy of the popular mind. Heroes of this kind are portrayed as guardians of the ideals of the society that created them, and their image is preserved forever in the consciousness of the common people."

Good question Samatar!!! What made her different is that during the uprising clashes many people were arrested and beaten up and once they would get released, they were told to go home, and most of them followed that order. The uprising was going for almost a week. Xaawo refused to go home; she was beaten up and arrested three times ONLY to return to the same location throwing stones at the colonial forces and their supporters. She became the symbol for the freedom fighters. The people there at that day were actually the ones who made her name famous because of her actions. I heard it was day number 6 that she got shot and got killed. Even while she was wounded badly, she refused to be taken and some people had to drag her to the near by Italian embassy for treatment. It wasn't Siyad Barre, or Cigaal or Aadan Cadde or Cabdirashiid that made Xaawo a national icon; it was the people that were with her during those difficult times. Yes many brave Somali women of all clans lost their lives, but her determination to the cause is what made her standout.Ma maqal waxay Xawo Tako ka shaqayn jirtay laakiin intaan ka ogahay she was ordinary woman who was killed in a protest against Italian colonial rule. Su'aasho waxay tahay, has the all other women killed in protests against colonisation honoured the same way? Why would she get a preferential treatment when so many other women also sacrificed their life for the country?
