Biography

[edit]

Alin was a colonel in the former Somali Military. He later entered a career in politics, participating in the regional elections of the Galmudug state in central Somalia. The elections took place in Galkacyo, the capital of Galmudug, and Alin came out victorious, making him the second president of the region. Sultans and religious leaders were also reportedly on hand to congratulate him on his election victory. Alin's term as President of Galmudug was scheduled for three years.[1] Alin died from a stroke on 31 October 2023, at the age of 72.[2]
