Have you ever thought something like this for Somalia?

Recommended Posts

There is an idea making the grapevine in Ethiopia to bring together all organizations and governments that fought in the last 50 years.

Including Mengistu himself. A big festival in Addis Ababa and all hand shaking and cchit chating in public.

You see,ย  in Somalia, clans fought each other, not people. loool. I know you will say, that doesn't make sense. Who are the clans? Aren't they made up of individuals? Yes, but in Somalia, the clan fighters are to always remain unknown. ย  :)

It's very difficult for somalis it's to radical to many conflicts. For example the mudug divide habargangster clan and the pirates up north. The Mogadishu war cali Mahdi vs caydiid.ย  Caydiid butchering Mogadishu residents who shared an abtirsi with afweyne. Imagine your own neigbor killing you. It was very ugly dagaalki ehliga.

Then gen gabyowย  and moorgen and barre hiiraale fighting over kismayo.ย  Caydid conquering bay and bakool. It's It's cycle of violence for Somalis. And thats only koonfurians doing that to each other.

What about the crimes general afweyne moorgenย  gaani canjeex maslax and cali samatar and tuke. Committed against the people of Somaliland. Somaliaย  And Somaliland divide is even worse.

It looks impossible until you look at it from a practical point of view. What is the alternative? Wait until one tribe wins over the other. Burry the history forget the wrongs and move on?

At least maybe a good idea to do it regionally over smaller wrongs than 1991 or 1988 or 2006 or others,

The koonfurians don't want to openย  that book. We have discussedย  this topic excessively here on solย  sinceย  2000. After Carta. Because it's to sensitive to controversial.ย  And in somali tribal society with stubborn Somalis all extremely proud garina ma gasho

It's hardย  To find a middle ground. Perhaps surivial of the fittest ninkiย  roon reerka ha u hadho. Oday awoowgayย  ah oo beri hore dhintay ayaa yidhiย  dhanka hawsha itoobiya anagu joogna. Qabiilku haa wadda loolaman sidi labba quroomood eh. Qaabil iyo haabil baa qadham bay iskaga siiyeen eh.

Xaaji Xunduf,ย I'm sure no oneย has theย sort of encyclopaedicย knowledge about the myriad atrocities that took place all across Somaliaย during the civil war...ย so answer me this: why is it that your political leaders are the ones ย who canโ€™t help but dig up the bones and sinews of civil war victims justย to score someย petty politicalย points and wonโ€™t allow bygones to be bygones. How do you expect our nation to move forward and reconcile?

Remembering our dearly departed help us "move forward". You can't ignore reality and ecpect to move on like nothing happened. But I think you should blame the kacaan for leaving so many mass graves.ย 

ย 

Besides its not like they left a map. It would have saved us lots of time.

ย 

ย 

You need to act like an adult and address whatโ€™s at hand without talking nonsense. You blame the Kacaan, right? Is the Kacaan in existence now? Didnโ€™t the Kacaan destroy the whole nation? Didnโ€™t all Somalisย rise up against itย ย and bringย it down? So why do you still choose to cry about a Kacaan that is dust and gone?

You h@brosย have some seriously low ย self-esteem that you need to collectively get over. Andย maybe, just maybe,ย you should try to emulate your fellow Somalis for once in your lives,ย who by their own nature, hardiness and endurance haveย overcomeย theย nightmares of the civil war and look forward to a brighterย future.

Its a pity that I attempted to have a cogentย discussionย ย with a troop of delirious baboons..๐Ÿ˜†

Alright my simian friends, continueย unearthing the remains of your deceased ancestors in the hopes of that elusiveย recognition.๐Ÿ‘

In most civil wars, rebel groups that overthrow governments assume leadership and don't destroy the state. In Somalia, one group tried to dismember the country and the other went on rampage. Whatever Siyad's shortcomings were, it was the sole responsibility of the rebel groups to rescue the country from the brink once he was out of the picture.

So, if USC and SNM are claiming victory, anything that happened after Barre was their sole responsibility. They should have been prepared for the day after.

Cheย  valid pointsย  SNM was a veryย  pragmatic and democratic rebel movement. President siilaanyo and president tuur and Ibrahim meygaag samatar head of SNM guurti had a clear plan. A USCย  SNM gov in a lose federation 2 armies one flag one foreign policy. But gen caydiid couldn'tย  deliverย  cali mahdiย  declared him self president in djibouti we heard on the BBC that Somalia had a new president..ย  ย Caydiid was to harsh onย the Dย  clan and to soft on his own clan. We had to declare independenceย and unite our people. So we organized the burco independence conferenceย  and the rest you know. Anagu xamar dooni meyno xumaana ugeysan mayno that was the motto

One rebel group rescued their part ofย the country and made peace with other clans. The biggest mistake snm made was not pushing forward to galkacayo as was the plan and fumigate those who later brought in the tigaray.ย  If snm stayedย with their original plan things woulf have gone differently. There wouldn't be a jajuus state called puntland.ย  ย Laakiin halka Allah ayey ka qorneyd iney xalaadu sidan ahaato.ย ย

Samafal   

LoL@crazy claims of Qaat induced Jeegaan is amazing. Wallahi if delusion could win, it would be these lot that would win something. Their bitterness of Reer Puntland reached a level where they claim if we had donethis, this would not have happened. Bal why don't you come true of your wishes and march to Gaalkacyo now? Why if we had? Afterall you have strongest army in Horn of Africa, right? So, go ahead and do it now.

This SNM thing you so fondly talk about was the most failed armed rebel group in the country. The only thing they ever did was to throw bullets and hide behind women and children , and that was what led to the dictator levellling a whole town to the ground. Caqli xumo iyo fulaynimo wataas. After that they were nowhere to be seen. They only reappeared when the government collapsed in 1991, sameway SSDF reappeared out of nowhere. And by the way ifย any rebel group weakened the Siyaad, it was SSDF. They had real army that fought government many battles, where as SNM was just a gorrila movement same way as Alshabaab do. USC have ultimately overthrown the government but the Somali army was already weakened, and they used clan sentiment very well. Case in point how they captured Mogadidhu. But credit of overthrowing Siyaad goes to them and not SNM or SSDF, as if they did not overthrow him, today theย government would be intact in those areas as they both have been defeated.
