"Soomaaliyeey toosoo" ("Somalis, Wake Up")[1] was the national anthem of Somalia from 2000 until August 2012.

Though contested, the majority believe the lyrics of the earlier Somalia National Anthem were composed by Yusuf Haji Adam and Ali Mire Awale.

It was sung to mark independence day on July 1, 1960, and was regularly performed by children in the mornings at schools.

"Soomaaliyeey toosoo" was officially adopted in July 2000 to mark the 40th anniversary of Somalian independence.

[5] In August 2012, following the endorsement of Somalia's new Provisional Constitution, "Soomaaliyeey toosoo" was replaced as the national anthem by "Qolobaa Calankeed".
