  • Yusuf Mohammed Siad Inda'ade was an Islamist member of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) in Somalia, and serves as the ICU's head of security affairs.. He is from the Ayr sub-clan, part of the Habar Gidir, which is a branch of the Hawiye clan. He has served as deputy and financier for Hassan Dahir Aweys, and served as the security chief. Nick-named "white-eyed" (or Indhacadde), he was a former warlord who occupied Lower Shabelle in 2002. He later allied himself with the Islamic Courts. The Islamic Courts advanced to central and south Somalia regions, including the Kismayo area, before Inda'ade pledged his support, giving them control of Lower Shabelle region in September 2006. In December 2006, he appealed to foreign Muslim fighters to join his movement's Holy War against Ethiopia. He had been friends with Barre Aden Shirre Hiiraale, who was leader of the Juba Valley Alliance which controlled Kismayo, and later became Defense Minister for the Transitional Federal Government, but the two parted ways over which side to support in the Somali Civil War. Recently he became part of the Islamist restance group, formed in January 2008 known as Hizbul Islam. He however soon started an internal conflict in the group as he claimed to have removed the group's chairman Sheikh Omar Iman abubakr and replaced him with another Islamic cleric. Hassan Dahir Aweys however expressed support for Omar Iman and critisized Inda'ade saying he "has made it normal to destroy every group he is part of. " On May 17th, he defected to the Transitional Government.
