The Story
In May 1960, a powerhouse coalition traveled to London with one goal: Freedom. Led by Mohamed Haji Ibrahim Egal, alongside Ahmed Haji Duale (Keyse), Ali Garaad Jama, and Haji Ibrahim Nur, they negotiated a peaceful end to colonial administration.

Despite their different political parties (SNL & USP), they stood in total unity. On June 26, 1960, their vision became reality. This is the story of the strategy, the struggle, and the ultimate victory for Somaliland.

Key Figures:

Mohamed Haji Ibrahim Egal (Leader & Future President)

Ahmed Haji Duale (Keyse) (Minister of Natural Resources)

Ali Garaad Jama (Minister of Public Works)

Haji Ibrahim Nur (Minister of Social Services)
