Why? I know you are pro-Hiil Qaran, and the Samatar brothers despise Galaydh, and are opposed to Khaatumo. Abdi was against his appointment at U of MN.
Abdi Samatar, a Somali and a long-time University of Minnesota professor of geography, opposed Galaydh's appointment, and wrote John Brandl, then the Humphrey dean, a letter recapping the allegations of corruption against Galaydh from both the sugar factory and the $1 million check.
Samatar said Galaydh "has a long and unsavory public record that might substantially damage the professional integrity of the institute and the university."
Brandl said he asked Samatar for evidence to back up the allegations and Samatar had none. So Brandl spoke to everyone he could find in the U.S. government, the United Nations and at Syracuse who had worked with Galaydh -- and found that none believed the allegations while all vouched for Galaydh's integrity.
