Evidence
The party organized a pan- Somali conference in Mogadishu in 1947 for Somalis to forge a common agenda about their future. Community leaders came from all corners and adopted the SYL’s nationalist principles. Somalis from the British protectorate were among the strongest supporters of the conference agenda as articulated in two separate venues. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 432
