Sayid Mohamed Abdulle Hassan

Good historical picture, thanks for the information 🙏🙏🙏

Sayyid Maxamed Cabdulle Xasan, also spelled Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, (born April 7, 1864, Dulbahante area, British Somaliland [now Doli Bahanta, Somalia]—died Dec. 21, 1920, Imi, Ethiopia), Somali religious and nationalist leader (called the “Mad Mullah” by the British) who for 20 years led armed resistance to the British, Italian, and Ethiopian colonial forces in Somaliland. Because of his active resistance to the British and his vision of a Somalia united in a Muslim brotherhood transcending clan divisions, Sayyid Maxamed is seen as a forerunner of modern Somali nationalism. He also is revered for his skill as an oral poet.

Sayid Mohamed Abdullah Hassan was a Somali religious leader. He established the Dervish movement in Somaliland that fought a 20-year war against the British, Italian, and Ethiopian empires.
