Abdullahi Isse was called the " father of the Somali Nationhood " and not for no reason. Not only was he one of the early founders of the SYL movement that liberated Somalia from colonialism. He was already in the 1940s making speeches in the UN try to convince the world that Somalia deserved freedom, especially Brazil used to vote for our goals in the UN. A true lion who saved the Somali people. In the Sannag and Sool regions we used to sing songs about him before the 60s when the lion were fighting our blessed struggle against the occupying enemy.
