Tribute to Abd Al Rahman Tour

 

Abd Al Rahman Tour was the first president of Somaliland, when Somaliland became independent in 1990.

Last night Abd Al Rahman Tour passed away (may Allah have mercy on his soul) in his home in London, after being severely ill for several months hid death was expected.

 

I thought I’d be the first to tell everyone since he’s a close relative of mine, it’s sad that not many people know about him and what he helped achieve, so here are a few websites talking about the history of Somaliland and what Abd Al Rahman Tour part was in it all.

I remember him as a child, H.E. visited our home , occasionaly, back then he was the Ambassador to the UAE. Early 80s before he left the diplomatic service to join the SNM movement. Indeed, this fine, human being will truly be missed just like his late brother, father of education Mahmud Ahmed Ali..

 

So long Tuur.

Inna lillhah wa inna ilayhi rajiicuun. Sue and the rest of his family samir iyo imaan. Allah chose to take his soul in the month of Ramadan may HE also have mercy on him. Aamiin.

I remember seeing Abdirahman when he was SNM rep in london and later as SNM foreign Sectratary.He was a man who said little but did a lot.He will be remembered for how he passed on the reins of power after the election of 1993 something uncharacteristic of an African politician.I wish him eternal peace and my deepest condolance to his family.

Amiin
