Reread the part I bolded where he said AY & Aideed wanted peace but Gaas spoke against it
This actually happened and is well known among the learned circles in mudug, Sheikh Shariif before he appointed him as a PM, went around asking us for advice but he thought it was just a made up story until after he became the head of Puntland and started spouting qabiilist drivel in public, only then did he belief the story.
It's no secret the hatred between the reer-mahad and the small sub-clan Gaas hails from, the man started back to back conflicts just out of spite, his small sub-clan of course was unaffected while his rivals suffered.
This dude was even more callous then Faroole who hated all of them including lealkase and wanted the whole of mudug to burn to the ground so the Omar Mahamouds could never contest for leadership against him for the kursi
Faroole waged a far smaller scale conflict under the guise of fighting terror (against lealkase) then galmudug got involved knowing he would come for them next with this bogus war that almost received foreign backing, when this happened the reer mahad odayaals revolted against him and he stopped but Gaas just ignored them in his conflict.
He wanted C/Yusuf to continue the conflict because Ceydiid was tied up in many fronts in Koonfur and had virtually no combatants in Gaalkacayo to counter him, C/Yusuf used this to gain more concessions like the kacaan airport and other government buildings which Ceydiid didn't care about because he had bigger fish to fry
The opposition fraction which Gaas was a part off opposed this and that's when that exchange took place, this was leaked from their camp.
the guys lost
