Mohamed Ibrahim Warsame, the legendary Somali poet and literature icon, was buried in Hargeisa on August 19.
Warsame, who passed away on Thursday, was laid to rest a day later.
He died in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland.
Over the last few years, Warsame has been in poor health. Consequently, ill health forced him to relocate to Burao.
Hundreds of people, led by Somaliland’s President Muse Bihi Abdi, attended his burial.
