“Madaxweynaha waa dhintay alle ha u naxariisto. Tacsi ayaan u dirayaa shacabka Soomaaliyeed meel walba oo ay joogaan. Sabar iyo iimaan alle ha ka siiyo” Sidaas waxaa yiri Dahir Mire Jabriil oo Madaxweynaha u ahaa Chief of Staff waqtigii uu Madaxweynaha ahaa.

1964 - Abdullahi Yusuf defeats Ethiopian contingent with light armoury and drives 15 km into Ethiopia at the age of 30. He represents Somalia in peace talks to quell the tension.

 

He is honoured by his opponents for his extraordinary work at just 30.

Whatever you thought of him during his TFG years, his political skills and historical footprint in Somalia can't go unnoticed, even his worst opponents would admit that.

 

So to deny that he was a war hero is just wrong, pure and simple, just like no one can deny others who fought before the collapse of the nation.
