The former director of National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) Fahad Yasin Haji Dahir has sent his sincere condolences to the death of late Ahmed Suleiman Dafle.
Fahad said that Dafle was one of the most influential politicians in Africa. He was responsible for ten countries in Africa to get their independence from the colonial powers.
Fahad Yasin said: “The power of the Somali National Security Service led to know what was happening in Mengistu Haile Mariam’s residence. The major victory that the Somali army reached in the 1977 war with Ethiopia was responsible for getting intelligence reports from Ethiopia’s Defense Forces. He was responsible for establishing the National Security Agency.”
Fahad Yasin said that once he became NISA’s director that he saw the history of late Ahmed Suleiman Dafle left behind. He was named after a mosque located in NISA headquarters.
