Reunification and ten-year UN trusteeship was the universal Somali demand

Evidence

The commission received the same message everywhere it traveled: reunite all Somalis and place them under a UN trusteeship administration for ten years, and do not reinstate Italian rule. The SYL’s core message was crafted by two Northern Somalis who came to Mogadishu to assist the SYL in communicating with the commission. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 251
