Abdullahi Issa went from London to Lake Success in New York, where he made the historic decision, which failed, that the SYL demanded that Somalia be governed by the four powers for two years, and behind them keep feeling for ten years.

New York was the place where he continued to advocate the idea of ​​a Greater Somaliland (the five parts of Somalia divided into colonies and brought under one government), according to the documents in the British Museum (UK National Archives). sent by the British ambassador in New York to the Foreign Office.

The Somali people used to sing at that time 'that man who is complaining, among the whites, Abdullahi Jesus, help me'. During his stay in New York, Abdullahi Issa faced suffering, bad life and lack of money, and he had difficulty paying for the hotel he was staying in, called the Prince George Hotel, whose address was 14 East, 28th Street. New York City.

The assistance provided by the Somaliland community in the United States and the British delegation in New York made it possible for him to stay there, continue his activities, and continue to participate in the discussions between the United Nations countries, based on on the question of Somalia's independence, as seen in the writings in the UK National Archives.

In addition to his participation in the sessions of the General Assembly of the United Nations (to which he gave speeches more than twice), Abdullahi Isse rented an hour to talk to the Somali people every afternoon on a small radio station in New York. the Horn of Africa region and the rest of the world.

The radio used to broadcast news and comments about the debate about whether Italy should rule over Somalia, and whether it should be transferred to another country or countries.

His militant views led the CIA to suspect him of harboring communist ideas, as historian Carol Anderson wrote in her book, Bourgeois Radicals: The NAACP and the Struggle for Colonial Liberation, 1941-1960.

Abdullahi Issa's struggle for freedom was not limited to politics alone, but included knowledge. He formed a close relationship with the scholar, writer and historian of black Americans, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, who offered him academic support in the field of anti-colonialism.

Abdullahi Isse, he also regularly published articles in New York (co-written by a Somaliland man, called Ismail Hassan), which told about the situation of the Somali people, especially how they are not happy. except for Italy to rule Somalia again and how the British colonial rule is oppressing SYL, which they have been angry with since 1948.

Among the writings made by Abdullahi Issa while he was in New York are two small books, in which he advocates for the people under colonialism, especially Somalis, whose title is "United Nations to Sponsor Survival of Colonialism or United Nations to End Colonialism?" and "United Nations for Europe or United Nations for the World?".

These writings contain criticism and criticism based on how the United Nations has faced the problem of who has the right to govern the countries that were under colonial rule.

These writings, which contain artistic and innovative ideas, will place Abdullahi Issa with African freedom thinkers, such as Léopold Sédar Senghor, Félix Houphouét-Boigny, Kwame Nkrumah and other African leaders, who wrote anti-colonial writings. - the fight. Some of the writings written by Abdullahi Issa, while he was in New York, are now in the private collection of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in the United States.

In November 1949, when the United Nations General Assembly decided that Italy would rule Somalia for ten years.

During that period of time, Abdullahi Issa, who was saddened by the decision, returned to Mogadishu after a year, where he had been away for several years.

He seemed like a man who did not succeed in his goal of not returning the Italians to the country.

When he returned to Mogadishu, a political dispute between the leadership of SYL caused Abdullahi Issa to be absent from meetings of the organization, until later he was able to rekindle his anger.

The conflict arose from SYL leaders who could not agree on how to deal with the new administration in Italy, named AFIS (Amministrazione Fiduciaria Italiana della Somalia).

Some of the leaders of SYL argued that AFIS is not different from the old Italian fascist regime, which was removed by the British, while others thought that the AFIS administration should be seen and dealt with in a different way.

The two sides of SYL eventually reached a compromise, and agreed to work closely with the AFIS administration, so as not to lose the time limit to bring the government to Somalia.

The SYL agreement was worked on by the Egyptian government. Based on the agreement between SYL and AFIS, in 1954, the first local government elections were held, which SYL won.

Two years later, in 1956, political party elections were held again, and the same SYL won.

The governor of Italy, Enrico Anzillotti, suggested that the winning party should choose a Prime Minister to establish a local government, and the SYL organization elected Abdullahi Isse by a majority who became the Prime Minister on February 29, 1956. Somalia's first, and within a short period of time, he appointed a government consisting of five ministers.

Once again, Abdullahi Issa was elected as Prime Minister, after the party elections held in 1959, which he won with the same SYL organization.

In July 1960, when Somalia gained its independence, the new President, Aden Abdulle Osman, ignored the decision and recommendations of the SYL Central Council, which nominated Abdullahi Issa to the position of Ra The Prime Minister.

Aden Abdulle argued that he is appointing the Prime Minister as the Prime Minister based on the rule of division of clans, which is a violation of the purpose of the SYL, which was to reject the clan and tribes, and integrate them into the life of society and politics.

It was a matter of surprise for Somalis and many foreigners that Abdullahi Issa did not become the President of the new Republic, or its Prime Minister, as happened in other African countries, where the Prime Ministers of the ruling governments remained in place, or were promoted to President. , such as Jomo Kenyatta, Houphouét-Boigny, Nkrumah and others, the reason was that the new constitution of Somalia, which was not approved at the time, was written on two issues:

That the Speaker of the State Parliament will be the interim President, and
The President must be 40 years old. (Initially, they wrote to the technical committee that the president should not be less than 38 years old, but when he was brought before the session of the Parliament, religious recommendations were included, making him 40 years old).
These two issues were an obstacle for Abdullahi Issa to jump to the position of President.

In addition, Abdullahi Issa himself did not try to change the constitution to be approved according to his wishes, as happened in many African countries, which were forced to change their constitutions, which later the leaders of their independence were turned into dictators.

Abdullahi Issa, who believed in the idea that a democratic government should replace the colonial one, refused to interfere in the writing of the constitution, which began in 1959, as Prime Minister.

After the independence of Somalia (unification of Somalia and Somaliland), Abdullahi Isse became the Minister of Foreign Affairs (1960-1964) and the Minister of Health (1964-1967).

From July 1967 to April 1969, he did not hold any position in the government, except as a member of parliament. However, in the last civilian government from May 1969 to October 1969, he became the Minister of Trade, until the military coup took place in the country.

He was among the politicians who were arrested for politics, and was released from prison in 1973. A year later, in 1974, the military leader Major General Mohamed Siad Barre appointed Abdullahi Issa as Somalia's ambassador to Sweden, a position he held until he resigned in early 1983.

Abdullahi Issa voluntarily retired after that time, and did not participate in the activities that were going on in Europe and the United States at that time, which were opposed to the military regime, as did men of his time, such as Abdirisaq Haji Hussein.

Abdullahi Isa moved to, and later settled in the city of Rome, where he used to go when he was fighting against the Italian colonialists.

In the same way, the leaders of African freedom fighters died in the capitals of the colonial countries they fought against, such as Julius Mwalimu Nyerere who died in London.

While he was in politics and when he retired, Abdullahi Issa was a very popular man, characterized by manners, discipline and eloquence. He was in the habit of taking on any task that was given to him in his country.

Everyone who entered his office, during his time as a leader, would greet him standing up, out of respect. His fault was that he liked to please everyone. He was a man who repeats the words when he speaks, and has a good heart.

Abdullahi Issa, at the age of 65, died in Rome on March 11, 1988.

His body, which was draped in the Somali flag, was brought down from Mogadishu, while many people gathered to pay their respects to his body.

He was buried in the national cemetery, with his condolences, jointly, attended by Aden Abdulle Osman and Mohamed Siad Barre.
