Hussein Kulmiye Afrah (Somali: Xuseen Kulmiye Afrax, Arabic: أفراح حسين) (1920 – 1993)[1][2] was Vice President of Somalia in the era of Siad Barre between 1972 and 1990.[3] He was also a member of the Supreme Revolutionary Council.
Post Civil War
Following the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, Kulmiye, among other Hawiye officers, was not arrested nor expelled from Mogadishu.[4]
However General Kulmiye was known for his honest straight talk against the USC militias as a clan group incapable of uniting Somalia. Kulmiye did not participate in the civil war in 1991.
