Abdullahi yusuf legacy is Puntland he is known as the father of puntland thats indeed his legacy 20 years on and puntland is there for all to see but what is ceydiid legacy or dahir aweeys legacy?Cognitive you were spot on.
Abdullahi Yusuf wanted to be Aidid's PM but of course Aidid refused that to him though he travelled and was humiliated in 1994.
The deal was signed in 1993. It was treacherous as it did not involve others from Puntland then North East who died defending the town. It was a unilateral decision of his to obtain power.
His wife Xaawo and Aidid were related I think first cousin Ilmo Abti/ Eedo and this is how contact was initiated.
I made a poem over a decade ago highlighting what he has done
Between the two seas
The grace of our race
The Indian and the red
Who can compete with the said?
May Ina Yey be cursed?
Because if it wasn't for him and his cowardliness
Ina Dahir Aweys false dream would be burst
If he hadn't made peace with Aydid and his madness,
His kin should have never been allowed back into Gaalkacyo
Because for Ina Dahir Aweys to contemplate a fight and see as righteousness,
To attack and invade a peaceful land in order to fulfil the "prophecy" and his false riyo
Is nothing short of plain greed, lust for power and selfishness!
But inshallah he will fail
In his quest for imperialism and (Punt)-laan
And will be killed or put into jail
For his mischievous Plaan!
Whilst Mohammed Abshir and the rest of the SSDF wanted to fight on
Abdullahi Yusuf betrayed the cause and made a secret pact,
With Aydid and his cohorts, to share the city of Gaalkacyo intact
And live on
In the city, divided and as a separate act!
Even faroole has left behind a great legacy, it was faroole that created Galmudug state
