Major Abdi Mohamed Sheikh Hassan, also known as Taliye Suulnuug (born in 1988 in Mogadishu, Somalia), is a Somali military general. He was the commander of the 18th GorGor Brigade of the Somali National Army.

Personal life[edit]

Taliye Suulnuug was born in 1988 in the Buloburde district of the Hiran region.[1] He went to primary school in his hometown of Buloburde and finished high school in Mogadishu. He left behind six children and a wife.[2]

Career[edit]

Before he joined the armed forces, he was a businessman who worked in cars traveling to the Hiran region and was widely known in his area. Before he joined the army, he had a car that he used to work on.[3] He was very troubled by the Al-Shabaab organization that used to collect taxes from him, which he refused, which later led to a war with them.[4]

In 2013, Taliye Suulnuug led the first Mawislee army established in the Hiran region. For some time, he was one of the leaders of the local army.[5]

In 2014, he joined the forces of the Somali government, especially the Gorgor Commandos. He received his first training at the Turkisom camp in Mogadishu; after that, he did officer training in Turkey.[6] When he returned to the country, the colonel took part in the war against al-Shabaab. He led various operations in the Hiran, Middle Shabelle, Lower Shabelle, Gedo, Galgaduud, and Mudug regions.[7]

Among the things that will be remembered for Taliye Suulnuug are the various battles that he fought al-Shabaab, including those that took place in the Walanweyn area of the Lower Shabelle region,[8] where he was led by the government forces and defended a military camp after a battle that lasted more than six hours, which caused him to be promoted to major. After a tough battle with Al-Shabaab, he was promoted by the former Prime Minister of Somalia, Mohamed Hussein Roble.[9]

Death[edit]

The commander of the 18th GorGor Brigade of the Somali National Army, Abdi Mohamed Suulnuug, died on January 6, 2024, as a result of a battle that took place on the outskirts of Aad in the south of the Mudug region between the Somali Armed Forces and Al-Shabaab.
