1970 Zeila uprising
1970 rebellion in Somaliland
The 1970 Zeila revolt was an armed insurgency in Zeila led by Mohamed Farah Dalmar Yusuf. The rebellion was fuelled by an anti-marxist sentiment and a desire to reinstate the 1960 State of Somaliland, for which he was labelled an ‘Ishaq Nationalist’. The revolt was backed by the Ba’athist-led countries of Iraq and Syria.
