Toronto, Canada, January
9, 2010 (SL Times) – Abdillahi Majoor, a prominent figure in Somalia’s
civilian politics passed away in Toronto, Canada.
Abdillahi Majoor had many friends from Somaliland and was well-liked and
respected in Somaliland as well as Somalia. He was a fair-minded man who
acknowledged that Somalilanders got a raw deal in their union with
Somalia. Especially memorable were his comments in a BBC Somali Service
Program that was aired when President Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal passed
away. Asked what he remembered about Egal in that program, Abdillahi
Majoor pointed to Egal’s loss of his premiership as a result of the
union with the south, and how fairness would have dictated that he
become a prime minister but when Egal was denied that position, he
handled the adversity with grace which tells you what kind of a man he
was.
The Somaliland Times sends its deepest condolences to the family
of the deceased and to all Somalis.
