Abdallah Deerow Isaaq (Somali: Cabdalle Deeroow Isaaq, Arabic: عبد الله اسحاق ديرو; 1950 – 2006), sometimes Abdullah Deerow Isaq, was a Somali politician.
[1] He was elected as the Speaker of the parliament in the Transitional National Government (TNG) on August 20, 2000.
In August 2003, Deerow was dismissed as Speaker of the parliamentary assembly, a decision which he maintained was illegitimate because the TNG's mandate had already ended earlier in the month.
[3] On July 28, 2006, as Deerow left Friday prayers from a mosque in Baidoa, which was at the time the temporary seat of the TFG, a lone gunman shot him dead.
[4] Riots subsequently erupted in the city streets in protest of the killing.
