Cabdulle Gorod (or Abdulle Gorod) was born in 1900 at Hobyo, in the Mudug region of Somalia, He was a member of the Habar Gedir clan. He was educated in Somalia and in Rome, Italy. The Second World War broke while he was a student.^{[citation needed]} After the turmoil of the war years, he joined the young generation against colonialism.

As the colonial war grew, with the breakdown of neutral people, and no single successor to Italian and British rule emerging, the term "traditional" came into use in Somalia to describe tribal and clan organizations and a complex web of regional and local domination. He was arrested by Italian leaders in Barawe in 1950 and was detained until his release in 1960.

He died in 1970.
