During the coronation of Queen Elizabeth there was a huge celebration in Hargeisa. The whole town was practically shut down and lots of congratulatory telegrams were sent.

 

I still remember that wonderful day
. I have been to London twice but
unfortunately
I didn't meet the Queen on either occasion.

 

I first became a chief when Somaliland was a British protectorate. I worked closely with the British colonial officials, and was selected by them as the chief of chiefs. I worked very well with them for 20 years until independence in 1960.

I liked the British a lot, mainly because they brought peace to our land. When they first arrived, the clans were at each other's throats. We were killing and fighting each other, and the British put a stop to it.
