This study covers the period of time between 1941 and 1969 — almost three decades which undoubtedly represent a crucial time in Somalia’s history, not least for the remarkable events which took place in the country. For the purpose of historical analysis, book is divided in this period of time into three distinct phases. In the course of this period, the country came under the rule of three different administrations: British Military Administration, UN Trusteeship and, finally, an Independent Somali civilian administration. Each of these administrations, as it will be extensively explained, left its imprint not only on the country but also on the lives of its people. The study covers the long and difficult debates held at the United Nations, with particular emphasis on the conflicting positions and the Four Powers’ failure to reach consensus on the future of pre-war Italian colonies in Africa, which eventually resulted in the transfer of the issue to the General Assembly of the United Nations for final decision. An entire chapter is dedicated to the emergence of the first political movements in the territory, and their fierce competition for political primacy, leading at times to bloody confrontations.

Masrixiyaddanwacyigelinteedu waa mid waageedii ay ka curatay iyo kan maanta la joogaba ku habboon. Waxyaalaha ay tooska u abbaartay waxaa ka mid ah tilmaamidda in ka mid iimihii gumeystayaashii ay kaga tageen dadka iyo dalka Soomaaliyeed iyo kuwii la yimid isbeddelka nolosha bulshada casriga ah. Waxaa ka mid ah: doorsoonkaaf, dhaqan, dhaqaale iyo siyaasadeed ee gaadhay ilaa loo soo joogay in jiilkii la filayay in uu dadlka iyo dadka xornimada curdinka helay horumar la taaban karo gaarsiiyo ay iyagiiba is af garan waayeen, dadkoodii ay u adeegi lahaayeenna aanay sidaa oo kale isu af garanayn. Loollankii ka dhexeeyay fikradihii siyaasadeed ee Bari iyo Galbeed iyo saamayntii tabnayd ee ay ku yeesheen manhajka iyo majaraha waxbarasho ee dhallinyaradii dibadaha waxbarashada u aaday dabadeedna dalkii dib ugu soo noqday iyaga oo kala sita cinwaanno culculus oo diktuur, dhoktor iyo ditoore ka wada kaca. Waxay ka turjumaysaamasraxiyaddu sheeko gudbinaysa qoys Soomaaliyeed oo reer miyi xooladhaqato iyo beeraleyba ah oo saboolna ah. Qoyska dhanna u ma fayooba!Caafimaadkiisu ma fiicna, xooluhuwaa ay ka wada bukaan, xagga daryeelkana waa uu ka liitaa.Qoyskaa kuwii dad iyo duunyo in ay u badbaadshaan laga dhawrayay waa kuwaa is af garan la’ lana af garan la’yahay! Dhanka kale, Aqoon iyo Afgarad xagga yididdiilada qumman iyo ifinta rejajooyinkii soo fool lahaa ka ma ay madhnayn. Waxa ay sii oddorostay horumarro ay ka mid ahaayeen hirgelintii qoridda Af Soomaaliga rasmiga ah ee aynnu hadda adeegsanaynno. Waxa kale oo ay masraxiyaddu halbeeg qumman diiradda ku saartay in badbaadada iyo horumarinta dal iyo dad aan looga sokeyn laguna dhaamin jiilka daljirka ah ee afkooda hooyo kaga haqab beela aqoonta dadkooda iyo dalkoodu u baahanyihiin. Iimihii la yimid isbeddellada bulshada casriga ah ee dhinacyada badan leh, sida dawladnimada cusub iyo fahankeeda, magaalowgii Soomaalida ku sii baahayay iyo noloshii sii murgaysay ee cillanaanta badan iyo kala danaysiga aan la isu turayn la timid ayay masraxiyaddu dhan kale ka tilmaamaysay. Intii ay waagaa tilmaamaysay iyo iyo dheeraadba maanta waa ay taaganyihiin. Sidaa awgeed, AQOON IYO AFGARAD wali waa halkeedii.

“Somali sideways has got to be one of the ground breaking creative projects ever created by a Somali for Somalis only. It shares powerful, sad, funny and hopeful global stories of Somalis. I was honoured to have been part of the work Mohamed created and it gave me the opportunity to share my journey with many other Somalis around the world.” – Leyla Hussein; Lead Social Activist, Psychotherapist, Writer. “I think Somali Sideways was the first platform that allowed Somalis to connect with and be inspired by stories of strangers from around the world. I think the images of Somalis standing sideways were very powerful. To me it felt like they were allowing us into their lives but at the same time reminding that there is a lot more to them that we don't know.” – Haweya Ismail; Founder of MUD & MUSK “Mohamed Mohamud is one of the smartest, inspiring and hardworking leaders you will ever meet. When Mohamed started Somali Sideways to shape the narrative and showcase positive images of the Somali experience globally, there were not many platforms that filled the need Mohamed saw. Mohamed was a young man ahead of his time. Hundreds of people have reached out to him to share their life experiences from all corners of the world. Somali Sideways brought us stories of Somalis in places we never imagine finding Somalis in the first place. With this book, Mohamed has chosen some of the best and inspiring stories that he hopes to share with the world.” – Guled Ibrahim; Rotary Peace Fellow and One Young World Ambassador

After long discussion in deciding which script is to be adopted for the Somali language, It took its final turn in 1972 when the Somali orthography was written and became the official language for Somalia. After the collapse of the Somali central government in 1991 it negatively affected every aspect of Somali people's social, educational, political and economical development. In the last two decades many academic papers were written and a number of researches were conducted touching various topics of Somali orthography. This book will contribute to recreating the lost efforts and history of Somali script due to civil war, and will shed light on the history of the Somali orthography development upto its final shape. I am sure the university students, academics and general public alike will find it useful and will enrich their knowledge on this crucial period for Somali literary history. This book which was at first produced as a thesis shows that the Somali University students, especially those attending at Lafoole College of Education were keen to unearth the Somali knowledge and produce theses in different topics. Large section of Lafoole's library was specially created to be stored in these theses and hopefully it is not all lost in the civil war which ravaged the country. These theses had the potential to be used as the backbone of further research in various social, scientific and cultural topics. SULEIMAN GEDDI QAYAD was born in Borama in 1964 and completed his primary, intermediate and Secondary education in Hargeisa. He worked as a teacher at Aw-Osman Secondary school in Merca. Thereafter he enrolled at Somali National University, the College of Education studying History as a major subject area. At the same college, he was selected to be assistant Lecturer at Lafoole College of education, teaching Somali history. In 1989 he arrived in the Netherlands, and now resides in the UK with his family.
