Gediid Posted December 26, 2003 This poem is the work of Abdi Iidaan on the night of June 26th 1960,the day British Somaliland become independent.Laakin nasiib daaro his most beautiful works have never been published nor heard on Somali Radio because he was against Siyaad Barre and the military junta.His name never comes up in Somali history books because Siad saw it fit not to mention his name and countless others......
