FORMER SOMALIA DEFENSE MINISTER GETS PROPERTIES BACK June 1, 2005
After a surprise visit to Mogadishu, former Somali defense minister, General Mohamed Said Hersi (Morgan) is claiming the properties he fled a decade ago. His old foes with whom he fought many years welcomed him with open hands and promised to give back whatever the general left behind when he fled Mogadishu in 1991.
General Morgan’s old enemy Mr. Yussuf Mohamed aka Indha Adde who controls one province in the south ordered the general’s large farm to be vacated by current owners who assumed ownership after the general fled the country with a convoy of armored vehicles with his father-in-law, former president, Moahamed Siad Barre. He will also reclaim real estate properties in Mogadishu.
The General served as the nation’s top soldier as defense minister under his father-in-law’s regime. He’s now back in Mogadishu and reconciled with southern warlords after he broke ranks with the current interim president, Mr. Abdulahi Yussuf Ahmed whose fragile government operates out of Nairobi, Kenya.
