Hirsi was born in 1925 in the town of Mareeg situated in central Somalia. He later joined the military, and eventually rose to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Somali National Army (Ciidamadda Xoogga Dalka Soomaaliyeed), the first position of its kind. Following Somalia's independence in 1960, Hirsi became Minister of Defence in the country's new civilian administration.

Hirsi was poisoned shortly thereafter in 1965 in Moscow, Russia. Several primary and secondary schools in addition to a main street in Mogadishu, the nation's capital, are named after him. The Cup of General Daud, an annual football competition in Somalia, is also titled in his honor. Hirsi was well known for his family who were indeed very close to him.The most famous of his siblings being Mu'mina Abdulle Hersi who was very well known in the city of Mareeg. Hirsi helped develop Somalia into a stable country and that also led to praise by then president Aden Abdullah Osman.

In his youth he was known to be athletic and participate in long distance running. He began his education in the local madras learning the holy quran, where he excelled and become a kabiir (senior). As a young man he moved to Bullo Barde and was employed in the local colonial office. As a young soldier he participated in the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, where he discovered the vast Somali territory beyond the republic. On his return in 1954 he was promoted to Lieutenant in the police force, contributing greatly to the development of the Somali military. Upon development of the Somali Defense Forces, he was promoted to first General and Commander and Chief of all military service branches. He is known as the father of Modern Somali Military and worked tirelessly to further the cause of the forces. General Daud died in 1965 Moscow, Russia during military training. He was mourned by entire Somali nation and particularly the military that he created. Siad Barre the president of Somalia at time upon hearing the loss of General daud, said “The Somali Military, today lost its father”.

According to this deranged individual and to quote this article he posted "upon development of the Somali Defense Forces, he was promoted to first General and Commander and Chief of all military service branches. He is known as the father of Modern Somali Military and worked tirelessly to further the cause of the forces. General Daud died in 1965 Moscow, Russia during military training."

 

I guess the late President of Somalia who at the time of General Daud's Death was not even president had such far reaching powers that he could murder someone in the Soviet Union?. Puh Lease! This is so lame and so obvious in it's intent that I am amazed the Admin even lets such trash on the forum!

U seee, this right here is the problem we somalis have. Someone makes an outrageous claim that tarnishes the name of a well known family without providing a shred of evidence, and the only people who speak up against it r fellow clansmen/women of the accused family. Y aren't other sOlers just as outraged....both these men were national hero's right? And I wonder, would the posters above me come to the defense of general daud if the tables were turned?

To answer your question- Yes, I would leap to the defense of General Daud anytime any day, why,... he was a national Hero and for the record I am not the same clan as President Abdirishid Ali Sharmaarke, if anything I share lineage with the late General.
