Abdi Ismail Samatar provides a clear and foundational history of
Somalia at the dawn of the country's independence when Africa's
first democrats appeared. While many African countries were
dominated by authoritarian rulers when they entered the
postcolonial era-and scholars have assumed this as a standard
feature of political leadership on the continent-Somalia had an
authentic democratic leadership. Samatar's political biography of
Aden A. Osman and Abdirazak H. Hussen breaks the stereotype of
brutal African tyranny. Samatar discusses the framing of democracy
in Somalia following the years of control by fascist Italy, the
formation of democratic organizations during the political
struggle, and the establishment of democratic foundations in the
new nation. Even though this early state of affairs did not last,
these leaders left behind a strong democratic legacy that may
provide a model of good governance for the rest of the continent.
