Ahmed Ismail Abdi

[4] In August 1966, he was appointed chairman of the Committee on Foreign Investments in addition to the minister of state for planning.

[5] He stopped being a minister at least 1968, but had a member of the Somali parliament and gave a speech at the Nicollet House Hotel in the United States.

[9] The meeting at this time was a calm one that did not allow local guerrilla forces and others to participate, and focused on appeals to the BBC and others.

[10] The early SNM situation was complicated by the fact that Ahmed Mohamed Gulaid was a former member of the National United Front party, while Duqsi was from its rival party, the Somaliland National League.

[11] On May 18, 1991, Somaliland declared its restoration of independence; Duqsi was appointed Minister of Justice (Somali: wasiirka cadaalada) and served until 1993.
