Mohamed H.I Egal-A man who kept serving Siad Bare to the end

I am surprised many people don't know his history and started associating him with the SNM. He always served the former Somalia government
to the end and was never part of the SNM. He kept serving Mohamed Siad Barre despite being jailed many times.

He was sent to Labatan Jirrow camp which was notorious for its miserable condition. One prisoner who was sent to egal cell read a writing on the wall where it said the name "EGAL".

It is literally impossible to desist from
scratching something on prison walls in solitary confinement because
that is about the only way left to express oneself. But we had to be
careful. Obviously my predecessors took their warnings seriously and
did not dare to write on the walls. Only much later, while I was
sitting on the floor and looking at the walls in front of me, I saw
something on the wall. Where the soldiers could not possibly see was
EGAL written in capital letters. This was the name of Somalia’s last
civilian prime minister much later to be ‘president’ of the Somaliland
Republic. He spent 7 years here. The most powerful man in the country
had been reduced to writing his name on that corner of the cell to
express his protest. I felt for him at that time.

A guy has gotta eat.

In those days there was very little private enterprise, people could only make a living by working for the government unless they were in self exile. Marxuum Cali Wardhiigley of the USC spent twenty years+ in Italy. He left before the coup, denounced Barre from day 1 and supported every anti government initiative. The last establishment he oversaw, the USC, finally put an end to Barre's regime. He was not alive to see his work come to fruit but he was one of the few honest politicians willing to seek a better Somalia.

NO he wasn't member of SNM, but he was defenitley not loyal for the regime.

although they all worked for the regime you are right some how. i am not sure which year tuur has joined the SNM movement but his liberation record is good too he was the last leader of snm and the first leader of the republic, his second good record was when he handed the powr to the guurti that,was very historic. unfortunately the man ended up traitor,he made a bad decision to go back to xamar :lupe:

Are you saying he was poor? Cause many politicians and military leaders alike spent years in the bush fighting with little resources, so I don't
think that is a excuse.

To speak of a dead man and one who contributed greatly to the birth Somaliland show's what a low life rat you are Ducaysane.
But you're the product of a Darod harlot we don't expect you to have class...

Baldy Aren't you the one who insulted AY a dead man AUN? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Sorry to disappoint you but the man you admire
in this topic was simply a servant of Siad Bare.That is not a insult but a fact.

To you and the rest your punt land folks Abdulahi Yusuf and Egal might be equal but to the rest of Somali society they are light years apart. I'm gonna be sucked into my Habar leader is better than yours but even with all his flaws Igaal ranks as the undisputed number one of Isaaq leaders and that will be the opinion of every Habar.

History speaks for itself. Egal = A man always in bondage and served Siad Bare to the last day. AY = A man who fought against the regime in the early days,
stayed in the bush many years and claimed his way to the top seat. Between those two it is clear who freedom fighters will respect.

Back to the topic. This important piece of history should be posted in Somaliland websites. We need to stop glorifying a former servant of MSB.

Why not? Serving the last real President of a nation>Than living a lie for over 20 years. What should we give Him a cookie for something a 4 year old would know?

There was no honor in it when it comes to those that hail from communities the regime was at open war with. No sane man with two balls
will continue serving a man openly at war with his people even after being jailed multiple times. What is more humiliating is he kept getting
jailed then "released" again just to serve, it sounds like master-slave relationship, at least we can understand more if he was respected but
that isn't the case.
