I have been seeing many people until this morning who are submitting that the airport in Bosaso should be named after the poet Khalif Sheikh Mahmoud Said who was the first poet who fought with the government of the Revolution and Mohammed Siad Barre. I believe that the purpose of this matter is: to honor the man, while
remembering his role in the struggle that he had in Somalia, in general, especially in his community and in his area, in the fight against the dictatorship of the country. He finally died in Galdogob city in 1982. Ehun. If the purpose is like that, I think that naming an airport after Khalifa is not appropriate, because of three points: 1. If a person is a hero who deserves to have his name preserved in history and in the minds of people, before a monument is built for him or a place is named after him, everyone should know why he is being honored, and he should act accordingly. When this is the case, there must be a mark on that person's society, and everyone who comes in contact with that mark considers that the honor is a suitable reward for the person who is to be assimilated. Khalif Sheikh was the man who composed the song Hurgumo/Maruryo, which became the origin of the opposition of the word/poem (like the song of Deley), as well as he was involved and had a great influence on the opposition of the SSDF gun. The old man's struggle when he was unjust and oppressed, and his death was a symbol of justice, whoever wants to remember his name today, is required to first be away from what he was fighting and injustice, or what he is fighting against. He died of equality, government and justice. That was the biggest memorial that could be made to Khalif, but it has no historical role in Budlayn, and it does not make sense to the people for the righteousness and goodness that was said to have been shed for him.
Budlayn the regions/communities that built together do not share the history and struggle of Khalif--if he gave this honor--, therefore it is not appropriate to name a person who does not represent them in public places. There are rebel communities who knew him and his organization and some who were enemies, who today have something to do with the history of Budlayna that started in 1998. The way is to first of all recognize that his role is good or that he has done a neutral job for the united administration community.
The person and the thing to be named must belong to each other (the word pronoun has the same meaning), if he was famous for something or his role, it is better to adjust his name to a role that can be matched or added. can. Khalif was a poet and a warrior, so he should be named after a representative. Since it is agreed--why is our majeerten agree--that the poet Khalif Sheikh Mahmoud was unjust, and today the right he wanted does not exist, and the purpose he fought for is not palatable in the present era, it should not be forgotten and not Nothing to do with sewing. What I would give to Bosaso Airport: Bender Qasim, he is the one who has always been known as the city of Bosaso.
