The ICU

Recommended Posts

Biixi   

Many Somalis had their suspicions about ICU's goal. Its leadership consisted of characters known in the eyes of many Somalis far from what the courts where telling people. Ultimately these characters killed the ICU.

 

"Gaal dil gartiisana sii" ICU did clean up Mogadishu for warlords and isbaarooyin collected guns from private citizenswhich wasn't easy. Banned khat, promised to give back homes in the city. But for every good deed they've done, they made sure to undermine it.

Few examples :

Qanyare.. etc who were leaching Mogadishu were chased out, their weapons confiscated, and their militia joined the ICU.

Indhocade...etc who were leaching Kismaio, Marka before the ICU were given high positions in the Islamic courts.

Abdiqasim..etc could have "body guards" and their technicals in Mogadishu, but Ali Mohamed had to ride back a motorcycle after his "body guards" and technicals were confiscated.

Afgoi...etc were run by the same characters that occupied before ICU but they were left alone, while regime change was sought areas far way from Mogadishu --Puntland and Somalia.

 

These are just examples, I'm sure there are many more. Mohamed Dheere is in Jawhar, I'm sure Qanyare and company will be back and things will once be like they were. So many lives wasted for nothing may Allah grant them mercy.

 

ICU's start and finish is a testimonny that Somalis will never tolerate injustice as they've in the past.

They highlighted flaws in Somali politics, and we should be suspicious of any government, movement, entity that is not just.
