Your entire premise is built upon a lie, the same lies that the twitter revisionist thread tried to propagate which is why I wouldn't be surprised if it was you behind that account, but I digress. There is no fkd when it comes to debunking fabrications, I have nothing against Galal and see him as a Somali scholar, however he didn't create the official somali script chosen in 72' in a committee that he was a part of. He was a proponent of Shire's script which had distinct variations since he used things like apostrophe's and slashes alongside other symbols that would have made the script convoluted.
I'll pick apart your claims below and go line by line to make it clear and concise. You shouldn't have made the mistake of trying to pull the wool over someone that is well versed in Somali history. Maybe kids and illiterates on twitter wouldn't know any better.
You said Shire didn't add anything to Galaal's script, but that wouldn't make sense since both of their scripts were reviewed by the UNESCO Language commission and recommended Shire's script over Galaal. And also your last excerpt titled "A Somali Poetic Combat" puts you in a precarious spot since it also asserts that they made some slight changes and variations i.e 'we used Shire's script'
That journal was also written by Andrejewski who in the excerpt below asserted that Shire's script became the official Somali Orthography, this is not up for debate.
You go on to say that galaal introduced the 'Dh' instead 'd' and that only the 'x' is missing, but that is a lie and can be debunked quite easily.
In the below excerpt from the UNESCO Language commission Galaal is Orthography '4'. While Shire is Orthography '7' I'll prove an image to minimize misunderstandings.
Shire has the 'Dh' and Galaal does not. How can you sweep that bold face lie under the rug, it's not fkd as you put it but keeping to the sanctity of history and not allowing for cheap revisionism/fabrications. As you can see under Orthography #7 there is a 'dh' and a 'd' under #4 and the same thing in regards to the 'ch' and 'h'
