The media butchered his name. They wrote his name as Issack Hassan. “That’s not my name,” he says, “that’s my father’s name.” His grandfather was Hassan. His name is Ahmed. Ahmed son of Issack who was the son of Hassan; Ahmed Issack Hassan. So, the media has been writing about dead men.
Even if you don’t know his name, you undoubtedly recognise his face. In person, he’s the spitting image of ‘Isaack Hassan’ that you have seen on TV screens during the nation’s most critical moments: election time.
