Sheikh Mukhtar Mohamed Hussein (Somali: Sheekh Mukhtaar Maxamed Xuseen, Arabic: الشيخ محمد حسين مختار; 1912 – 12 June 2012) was the Speaker of the Parliament of Somalia, and briefly an Acting President of Somalia in 1969.[2]
Early life
[edit ]Hussein was born into a Hadame family (part of the larger Rahaweyn clan), in the central town of Xuddur in the Bakool region.[3]
Politics
[edit ]In 1946, Hussein joined the burgeoning, nationalist party of the Somali Youth Club (which later changed its name to the Somali Youth League).[3] He served the SYL's head office in what was then known as Upper Jubba, which included several current regions of Southwestern Somalia.[3]
He died in Nairobi, Kenya in 2012 at about 100 years old.[4] He was accorded a state funeral by the government in Mogadishu, Somalia, and was buried there on June 15, 2012.[5]
