Evidence

A solemn ceremony was recently enacted in Somaliland, not far from Mogadishu, in the presence of Fornari, head of the Italian administration, and general of carabinieri Ferrari. An old fascist banner of the Italian Colonial Corps, which had been buried in the ground, was disinterred and presented to the newly formed Somaliland Public Security Corps. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 285
