Factional splits already threatened the SYL before Egal formed his cabinet

Evidence

Egal] came to me on board the PM Fiat 2300, although he is not PM yet as he has not formed his cabinet. He complained about the SYL and Abdirazak [Hussen]. I calmed him, explaining what Abdirazak’s fears are: introduction into the party of other deputies who would get rid of the very loyal members of SYL who have been there from the beginning such as Abdullahi Issa and Mohamed Ali Dorre. I urged him to understand other members’ reasoning and not to always suspect everyone, and to have patience. I also asked him not to just follow Abdirashid [Sharmarkee] and not be led by insupportable promises. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 975
