Question: Who was the first president of the country that has a capital with the same name as itself, in the region where the Xeer system developed?

<P0-S0> There is no evidence that it developed elsewhere or was greatly influenced by any foreign legal system. <P0-S1> The Xeer legal system is assumed to have developed exclusively in the Horn of Africa since approximately the 7th century. <P0-S2> The fact that Somali legal terminology is practically devoid of loan words from foreign languages suggests that Xeer is truly indigenous. <SEP> <P1-S0> a new federal city was then constructed on the north bank of the potomac, to the east of georgetown. <P1-S1> on september 9, 1791, the three commissioners overseeing the capital's construction named the city in honor of president washington. <P1-S2> the federal district was named columbia, which was a poetic name for the united states commonly in use at that time. <P1-S3> congress held its first session in washington on november 17, 1800. <SEP> <P2-S0> the world's first commercial broadcast automation audio compression system was developed by oscar bonello, an engineering professor at the university of buenos aires. <P2-S1> in 1983, using the psychoacoustic principle of the masking of critical bands first published in 1967, he started developing a practical application based on the recently developed ibm pc computer, and the broadcast automation system was launched in 1987 under the name audicom. <P2-S2> twenty years later, almost all the radio stations in the world were using similar technology manufactured by a number of companies. <SEP> <P3-S0> Area 1,882,757 km Languages Afar Arabic Amharic French Oromo Somali Tigrinya Religion Islam, Christianity, traditional faiths Time zones UTC + 03: 00 Currency Djiboutian franc Eritrean nakfa Ethiopian birr Somali shilling Capitals Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) Asmara (Eritrea) Djibouti (Djibouti) Mogadishu (Somalia) Total GDP (PPP) $247.751 billion (2016) Total GDP (nominal) $102,057 billion (2016) <P3-S1> Horn of Africa Countries and territories Djibouti Eritrea Ethiopia Somalia Major regional organizations Arab League, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, Community of Sahel - Saharan States, Intergovernmental Authority on Development Population 122,618,170 (2016 est.) <SEP> <P4-S0> A referendum was held in neighboring Djibouti (then known as French Somaliland) in 1958, on the eve of Somalia's independence in 1960, to decide whether or not to join the Somali Republic or to remain with France. <P4-S1> The referendum turned out in favour of a continued association with France, largely due to a combined yes vote by the sizable Afar ethnic group and resident Europeans. <P4-S2> There was also widespread vote rigging, with the French expelling thousands of Somalis before the referendum reached the polls. <P4-S3> The majority of those who voted no were Somalis who were strongly in favour of joining a united Somalia, as had been proposed by Mahmoud Harbi, Vice President of the Government Council. <P4-S4> Harbi was killed in a plane crash two years later. <P4-S5> Djibouti finally gained its independence from France in 1977, and Hassan Gouled Aptidon, a Somali who had campaigned for a yes vote in the referendum of 1958, eventually wound up as Djibouti's first president (1977–1991).
