[edit] Biography
Hussein was born in 1924 to a Majerteen Darod family in Galkacyo, the capital of the north-central Mudug region of Somalia. A former member of the Somali Youth League, he played an important part in the nation's early civilian administration.
On May 6, 2001, an effort by the Transitional National Government (TNG) to create a 25-member working body, dubbed the National Commission for Reconciliation and Property Settlement (NCRPS), was stalled when Abdirizak Haji Hussein was named as its head. The Somalia Reconciliation and Restoration Council (SRRC) and Puntland leadership objected strongly. Hussein later resigned on July 25, 2001.
