Taariikhdii Fanaanka iyo Adeeggii Diinta

Somalia's Ministers of Defence and Information, Culture and Tourism, Ahmed Moallim Fiqi and Abdifatah Qasim Mahmoud, received Sheikh Abdullahi Zulfa at Aden Adde International Airport, marking his return to Mogadishu after more than 30 years abroad.
A Historic Return to Mogadishu
The Federal Government of Somalia hosted the former artist at the capital's main airport, where officials gathered to greet him upon his arrival. The event signalled a personal and cultural homecoming for a figure long associated with Somali arts and public life.
Sheikh Abdullahi Zulfa, who had been away from his homeland for over three decades, was warmly received by government dignitaries and cultural leaders. His return drew attention as a notable moment in Somalia's ongoing efforts to reconnect with its diaspora and cultural heritage.
A Legacy in Somali Arts and Faith
Zulfa was once a celebrated member of the Iftin Group, an artistic collective under the Ministry of Education, known for his contributions to Somali music and social awareness. His work left a lasting imprint on the country's cultural landscape before he stepped away from the stage.
During his extended stay in Saudi Arabia, he took up the role of a mosque muezzin and chose to dedicate his time to religious service rather than continue his musical career. This period of quiet devotion marked a significant shift in his personal and professional life.
Government Praise for Cultural Contributions
Ministers Fiqi and Qasim publicly acknowledged Zulfa's valuable role in Somalia's artistic and social history, expressing gratitude for his past contributions. Their remarks underscored the government's recognition of cultural figures who have shaped the nation's identity.
The reception was further attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, including Acting Director General Nasir, National Theatre Manager Poet Guure, and Deputy National Theatre Manager Poet Maki Haji Banadir, reflecting the breadth of institutional support for the occasion.
