President Shermarke himself likely ordered the blocking of the DAP list in 1969
Evidence
The rejection of the Bur Hakaba lists, and in particular the DAP list of … Zoppo … is the most significant and from all indications, a blatant injustice which the GSR may live to regret. It is likely that President [Abdi- rashid Ali] Shermarke himself is the principal villain in this piece in that he apparently gave instructions to one and all concerned that the DAP list was to be blocked. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 1018
