Hussein Kulmiye Afrah (Somali: Xuseen Kulmiye Afrax, Arabic: أفراح حسين) (1920 – before 2007) was Second Vice President of Somalia in the era of Siad Barre between 1972 and 1990. He was also a member in the Supreme Revolutionary Council.
Following the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, Kulmiye among other Hawiye Officers were not arrested nor expelled from Mogadishu. Instead all Hawiye Clan officials who served the Barre regime were reinvented as Somali Heroes.
Mr. Kulmiye is known for his honest straight talk against the USC as a clan group incapable of uniting Somalia. Mr. Kulmiye did not participate the civil war in 1991
