The deputy speaker of the Federal Parliament Mahad Abdalle Awad reminded everyone of the man who single handedly established the Federal Government of Somalia. AUN his excellency Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed.
A/Y was elected to lead and establish a Transitional Federal Government setup for complete and utter failure from day one. A Government in excel without Internal & International Support. A Government without a Capital then held hostage by clan warlords.
What did he do, give up and throw in the towel? Wa miya he funded the Federal Government with $200,000 monthly from Bosasso port from 2004 to 2008. Money at the time desperately needed by Boasoso itself and Puntland State. He told Puntlanders this is a sacrifice for the greater good.
Not only did his leadership and wisdom got him the life line to keep the government running, but also manpower of 4500 men and equipment. From Nairobi to Jowhar to Baydhabo to Mogadishu. Against all odds he succeeded with Puntlanders paying heavy price in blood and money to restore Dawlad back in Somalia.
He wrote his name in the history books in gold, there is no other Somali Leader who could come close to A/Y by virtue of fact. Maneuvering through the greatest political difficulties of our time, and defeating the impossibilities one layer at a time.
