What about this post gave u the impression that heās āblaming others for our own failuresā?We destroyed ourselves. We need to take accountability and stop blaming others for our own failures.
CIA would have mention that, it's not so surprise for Somali opposition to have had connection and support from Israel, this is something that country is known for, they are involved in everywhere.There was no relationship with that nation. Ethiopia was receiving military assistance and millions in weapons from them. Ethiopia also provided some early support for rebel groups. This doesn't mean Somalis were directly getting help from.
This post was no way posted to blame Israel, but to acknowledge the support it gave to Somali opposition to the barre Era.We destroyed ourselves. We need to take accountability and stop blaming others for our own failures.
You're conflating different things. Ethiopia receiving weapons and support from them which in turn also helped Ethiopia support rebel groups does not mean there was a direct connection. You cannot find any actual link between them.CIA would have mention that, it's not so surprise for Somali opposition to have had connection and support from Israel, this is something that country is known for, they are involved in everywhere.

"The participants at the Addis Ababa session will include longtime political exiles and military officers involved in the coup attempt against Siad last April. The political members of this group formed the core of the Somali Democratic Action Front, a political organization that has received limited support from Ethiopia and Israel."You're conflating different things.

This is like conspiracy theory level, it doesn't even make sense for them to have any actual interest in Somalia to interfere.
Believe what you want, I don't even care. You cannot find a direct link, just random assumptions and tinfoil hat conspiracies. Might as well go further, the whole world was involved too"The participants at the Addis Ababa session will include longtime political exiles and military officers involved in the coup attempt against Siad last April.

I don't think you read the text, cause it clearly says Somali Democratic Action Front got support from both Ethiopia and Israel, meaning a direct connection between Somalis opposition and Israel.
Alliances, Ethiopia at the time was pro Soviet, and Israel needed a group that was willing to work with them in the Horn of Africa. Adding Somalia is part of the Arab league.
What is so hard about acknowledging this and how is it some conspiracies? If you can't trust a direct link documented by the CIA, i don't think you would trust anything.Believe what you want, I don't even care.

Proxies kulaha. It's very dishonest to reduce groups fighting an authoritarian regime down to just being a proxy. For many there were legitimate grievances that inspired their fight. Just because they took foreign support does not just make them only a proxy. Every civil war has different actors with different motives.I wouldn't even call it a civil war, it was more accurately a proxy conflict. All those groups mentioned were proxies.
I already made thread on this how their support for Ethiopia and their destabilization efforts against Somalia is an extension of their Greater Isreal agenda and weakening arabi/muslim political unity

It was clear from the start but they are becoming more brazen. InshaAllah it backfires on them. Other times they had plausible deniability on their side , or claiming a letter is fake or what have you. But when you have top ministers within your government caught on camera openly professing...www.somalispot.com
and here is an article that investigates Isreals involvement.

Israel, Ethiopia and the Somali question
Israel viewed Somali nationalism as a threat across the Horn of Africa and secretly collaborated with Ethiopia to contain it.www.geeska.com
We ?We destroyed ourselves. We need to take accountability and stop blaming others for our own failures.
No he's right, Somalis need to move on. We are our own biggest enemies. The biggest contributing factor to the state of the country is our people.We ?

Most people in this forum are qoxotis who only went back home once, and there's no "We", its never as simple as that
Someone has to blame their mooryan adeer but it sure as hell aint meNo he's right, Somalis need to move on. We are our own biggest enemies. The biggest contributing factor to the state of the country is our people.

The SSDF wasnāt founded out of some moral outrage over clan targeting thatās revisionism. It was created in Ethiopia after the failed 1978 coup, when the officers fled and were embraced by the Derg regime.
Ethiopia formally classified SSDF and SNM as Project 6A and 6B in their military-intelligence archives. These were not nationalist resistance movements they were proxy groups, strategically used by Ethiopia to destabilize Somalia from within

The SSDF leadership itself was manipulated and restructured directly by Colonel Moges, an Ethiopian officer, who even removed Abdullahi Yusuf unilaterally. If you're supposedly leading a Somali liberation group and youāre being appointed and dismissed by Ethiopian colonels you are not a sovereign force, you're a client.

SNM was not created by Ethiopia beenta iska joojiThey were proxies. Ethiopia itself classified them as such in their military archives.

I broke all this down in a different thread.
This part here too:
You can argue back and forth all day, but if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck , itās a duck.
SSDF, SNM, etc. were proxy groups because they were created, trained, funded, and commanded by foreign powers. They didnāt just accept help , they were built to serve outside agendas.
āLegitimate grievances,ā kulaha.
Tell that to the choir . Iām sure theyāll be moved.
And seriously, what kind of civil war has an opposition thatās headquartered outside the country, fails to rally any serious domestic support, and functions entirely at the mercy of its foreign sponsors?
During apartheid, the ANC received support and help from various nations. It had members and HQ in different countries. We're they also a proxyThey were proxies. Ethiopia itself classified them as such in their military archives.
