"Soomaaliyeey toosoo" ("Somalis, Wake Up")[1] was the national anthem of Somalia from 2000 until August 2012.[2] It was adopted by the Transitional National Government, replacing the unnamed former national anthem.
Though contested, the majority believe the lyrics of the earlier Somalia National Anthem were composed by Yusuf Haji Adam and Ali Mire Awale.[3]
