Hirsi Ali Magan

Hirsi Ali "Magan" Issa (Somali: Xirsi Cali "Magan" Ciise; Arabic: حرسي علي مجن عيسى, romanized: Ḥirsī ʻAlī Majan ʻĪsā; 1935–2008), commonly known as Hirsi Magan, was a Somali scholar, intellectual, and political dissident. He was a prominent figure in the Somalian Rebellion, Somali culture, and Somalia's political elite. Magan co-founded the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF), a political and paramilitary group that opposed the government's authoritarian policies, and he was imprisoned for his dissent.

Magan was a comrade-in-arms of erstwhile president of Somalia Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, and the father of the former Dutch MP and critic of Islam Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
