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 in the Supreme Revolutionary Council.

Post Civil War[]

Following the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, Kulmiye among other Hawiye Officers were 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. Mr. Kulmiye did not participate the civil war in 1991.
