This brave senior Somali officer spoke out against the tyrannical regime of dictator Farmaajo on Sunday. Maxamed Maxamuud Sahal Cawaale 'Shiddo' is his name. He is a Colonel in the Custodial Guards in Mogadishu. I phoned him as rumours spread that he was detained from his house.
Colonel Shiddo denied the troubling rumours and told me that he is safe & sound, but has stated that he has now been warned not to speak out again. Nonetheless, he is very confident to speak against oppression as he sees it. He has long been famous for telling the truth to power.
