Hargeisa, Aug 6, 2013 (SDN) —Mohamed Ali Omer refused to shave until president Silanyo and the ruling Kulmiye party relinquishes power. Mohamed Ali is a 30-year-old middle school teacher from Hargeisa, and he hasn’t shaved since president Silanyo came to power in July 2010. Four days ago, Mohamed Ali Omer held his three year anniversary event marking his decision to point out the strong opposition towards Kulmiye Political Party. This anniversary coincided just a day after President of Somaliland, Ahmed Silanyo hosted a ceremonial event commemorating the ruling party’s term in office.
“A lot of people were shocked at my decision, a few years back, however those same people as well as many more now understand the reasons behind my actions and fully-support my beliefs. They now see, exactly what I saw then”, said Mohamed Ali Omer acknowledging for making such a public portrayal of disapproval.
Mohamed Ali, who is a member of the former ruling government’s party, UDUB, expressed a sense of joy for being able to celebrate three years of protest against the current ruling party.
