Biography

Hirsi was born in Somalia to an Abgaal Hawiye family in 1919 in the town of Mareeg situated in central Somalia.

He later joined the military, and eventually rose to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the nascent Somali National Army (Ciidamadda Xoogga Dalka Soomaaliyeed), the first position of its kind. Following Somalia's independence in 1960, Hirsi became Minister of Defence in the country's new civilian administration.

Hirsi died shortly thereafter in 1965 in Moscow, Russia. Several primary and secondary schools in addition to a main street in Mogadishu, the nation's capital, are named after him. The Cup of General Daud, an annual football competition in Somalia, is also titled in his honor. Hirsi was well known for his family who were indeed very close to him.

Hirsi helped develop Somalia into a stable country and that also led to praise by then president Aden Abdullah Osman.

In his youth he was known to be athletic and participate in long distance running. He began his education in the local madras learning the quran, where he excelled and become a kabiir (senior). As a young man he moved to Bullo Barde and was employed in the local colonial office.

Upon development of the Somali Defense Forces, he was promoted to first General and Commander and Chief of all military service branches. He is known as the father of Modern Somali Military and worked tirelessly to further the cause of the forces.
