Nasser widely supported Somalia in all fields. He helped the Somalis to get their independence, he supported Somali nationalism, and he supported Somalia in its borders problem with Ethiopia. Culturally, he sent many scientific missions to Somalia to teach the Somalis the Arabic language, and to prepare them for rule after their independence. He sent them experts in all fields to help them in understanding culture. In the military field, he helped them a great deal, giving them weapons for free as a gift from Egypt to Somalia, training Somali students in Egyptian military colleges, and sending Egyptian officers to Somalia to train the Somali officers. Economically, he supported the Somali economy, he bought his required products, sheep, bananas and incense from there, and he stood beside the Somalis in their economic crisis. He also gave a loan to the Somalis to help their economy. All that has been mentioned made Nasser their hero, so they cried at his death; sad to lose a hero who deserved that place by his works.
