Sharif Sheikh Ahmed — Arabic Wikipedia

Arabic Wikipedia article on Sharif Sheikh Ahmed; used for entity facts only. It recounts his birth on 25 July 1964 near Mahaday in a Sufi family whose father followed the Idrisiyya order, his chairmanship of the Islamic Courts Union and his presidency of Somalia (2009–2012). Its infobox religion field gives 'Muslim' with no branch; the family's Sufi background is background, not a personal attestation.
