Damn wonder how those Turks must feel now. Tbh I respect them but what happened to the Armenians was just plain genocide.

Some Isaaq editors over at wikipedia are claiming that they suffered an ethnic genocide:

Shit is misleading. It was a rebel vs government conflict, not against the Isaaq as a clan.
Nah... It was pretty bad. SNM fucked up but the government was way worse.

Actually, it's true the government waged a war against the inhabitants of the Sheikh isaaq territory and not just the SNM. Furthermore, there was a document stating the issaq genocide by naming different subclans of the sheikh isaaq family in regards to different cities and towns. Gabiley which was sa'ad musa, berbera which was issa musa, burco mostly hj with hy and ha( issa musa) , canayba (hj) west and central sannag which is hy and hj . Furthermore, hargeysa which was a mix but mostly habar awal sa'ad musa. So yeah, it was sheikh isaaq family vs the government and other qabils.
Turks need to face the truth & stop lying to themselves.
Turkey could potentially open up a great chapter in its relations with the Armenian people by recognising the genocide.

It would be wrong to call it an "ethnic genocide" for obvious reasons, since Isaaqs are no different ethnically from other Somalis.What's your opinion on some Isaaqs claiming it was an ethnic genocide? I know it is a bit off-topic, but similar arguments apply as with the Armenian case (albeit differently).
the somali communist government commited tribal genocide on the isaaq clan. they killed so many isaaqs much more than hawiye and MJ massacares
failure to recognise this genocide is one of the reasons why somalia and somaliland wont reunite
I remember watching a video of a HY issaq guy on youtube talking about what happened in the 1980s in somaliland and nearly everyone in the comment section particularly those who are somaliweyn advocators downplayed it, denied it and even condemned him for speaking about it. I even heard some issaqs even say that MJ and hawiye had it as bad as isaaq which was a fucked up statement to make. But, one think is a lot of somalis try to play it down and dont acknowledge what happened. Furthermore, they blame Issaq and hawiye militiamen of destroying somalia and make some irrational equivalency of the regime that killed innocent so called " republic of somalia" citizen in cold blood based on qabil affiliation.
