Revisionist history is occuring in Somalia and what is being said is the truth. Those who have have nostalgia for Siyaad Barrre era failed to realise that his regime was corrupt and deeply clanish in its last days. Listen carefully to what Cali Mahdi  said. He said that Barre regime  jailed democratic elected people  from 1969 people.. Among those people who were cose to me was the late famous human rights lawyer AVokaate Maxamed Raajis. Two people elected from mogadishu during the last democratic election, The late Jimcaale and avokaate Maxamed Raajis. Both of these two people represented the demographic landscape of Banaadir at that time.

AUN Avokaate Maxamed Raajis was jailed the likes of Egal and many others. Barre had a tendency to make people join his kacaan after jailing them.  After 5 years of jail, the late lawyer who never thought the regime would last for 21 years was immedietely taken to Villa Somalia and met Barre. Both of them knew each other and were friends during the italian colonial era.  Barre AUN told him about the conditions of the countrey and said he wanted the lawyer AUN to lead wasaarada Cadaalada. Out of principle the late lawyer said he wished to continue his private office and declined the offer. Barre became angry and lashed out in clannish statement and said "war dadkiina banaadiriga wax deeop ma jiro miyaa". 

While Mengistu  saved Ethiopia and did not open weapons arme depots to the  Amhara in Gondar and Bahdri Dahr Barre armed Amhara and kept the Ethiopian army in command while fleeing the countrey Barre AUN did the opposite.  Cali Mahdi is honest when he said that the maanifesto group were the ones who made the Barre regime illegtimate in the eyes of the Somali people.  Among those who signed and who remained in Mogadishu and who was second in the name signatures was Avokaate Maxamed Raajis.  And indeed as Cali Mahdi said the group had a meeting with Barre and promised him that if he stepped down he would be among the respected leaders of Somalia. He agreed to the terms.   The next day while everyone was awaiting his response of stepping down and handing over power he made his infamous bizarre radio adress encouraging "somalis "BEERAHA FALAHA".

The critique that could be made  against Cali Mahdi and the USC was he was unable to compromise. If he lacked the military power to tackle Aideed why not then hand over government to Aideed and in orderly fashion and have fresh elections. If Mogadishu was  secured the whole of Somalia would be secure.    But the question remains. Whould the ADHD. Aideed be a man that could bring Somalis together or whould he be Barre on steriods?.

 

One thing is sure. Barre failed while Mengistu had the greater perspective of saving his nation. Think about that!

 

 

 

 

What does Garyaqaan Maxamed Raajis Maxamed has to do with this? Rabi ha u raxmada marxuumka.

Cali Mahdi iyo kii kale waalnaa had failed Soomaaliya. They had no plan, nothing. Dadka Xamar joogay, sida aniga camal, looma sheegi karo waxee ka sameeyeen mooryääntooda magaalada sanadkii 1991. Iyagaaba u koow ahaa inay bililiqeystaan warshadihii, xarumihii ciidamada, xafiisyadii, laamihii dowladda iyo goobihii kale dowladda lahayd.

If the manifesto group had any balls they would have shot Barre in the face when they met him in person. Barre showed his true colours when he aerial bombarded the civilian populations and indiscriminate killings of various clans in Mogadishu. Do you know how sick and evil Barre was? After feeling Mogadishu in late January 1991 he came back serval times in 1992 to try and reclaim power from the USC. This caused a huge famine in a fertile region of Somalia (Jubba and Shabelle) and triggered a massive U.N food aid emergency. Not to mention the USC and other southern rebel outfits destroying what little Somalia had in term of reputation and currency.

I am thankful that Somaliland cut ties with the crazy and barbaric south.😎

Khadafi,

Whatever Barre's shortcomings were, and there were many, when has forced out, the responsibility of saving the country fell on the victors. We cannot blame him for the failures of those who came after him.

Caqligii asagoo dadka macluulaya kor taagan uu ku dalbaday Naaftada wali godkuu ula socdaa.

1960kii guriga lagu qiyaasay 4500$ oo uu qirtay inuu xaday maalintii uu afarta kun oo doolar xasan sheekh u geeyay intee joogay qiimihiisu?

qiyaastii waa afar boqol oo kun waa intaas hantida lagu leeyayahay.

Markii ciidamada ina carte qaalib ku yiri hubkiina ku wareejiya USC Iyo SNM ma uusan ogayn ayaan dhaw yaa loo sheegay in arintaasu dhacday intuu nadaxweynaga ahaa.
shalay xabba-tari maa eebow.
