Entire History of the Somali Civil-War [Timeline ]

[ethan bradberry]

All I know is that Koonfur Isaaq and Dir clans protected each other when the civil war broke out. That's why I was surprised by the anti Dir sentiments coming from some of Isaqs, but I guess it's a different dynamics up north.

It's mostly habar awal

Is it true that samaroon looted the most after the total destruction of Hargeisa?

not sure but the goods looted from Hargeisa made their way to borama and then later to Ethiopia to be sold. It was probably a mix between escaping kacaan and samaroon agreeing to take a cut.

@oday1kenobi Alla been badanida they hate Samaroon as Samaroon.


They hate Southern Dir cause they claim them as Dir.

That's why I said vice-versa (ha and samaroon equally dislike eachother).

Personally, I have no ill-will towards Gadabuursi. They have good people like in all clans and I was treated well in Borama last I went there.

habar awal has no issues with dir however it did retaliate after the kacaan armed certain dir clan against HA.

maashalah @Rooble look 4 organizations for Samaroon and Issa we really need to unite we would dstry anyone in our way the days of ppl pinnin our clans against each other shld stop Samroon iyo Ciise waa mid waa walaalo

Runti cuz I have a great plan to make this possible. It's bound to happen in the future! We will become 1 in the future! We need to sacrifice to gain though. We need a big SHIR, huge CONFERENCE, financiers, scholars, religious groups and clan elders both groups. I will discuss it with you by inbox.

Was ICU really ultra conservative?

From my own research, ICU wasn't that conservative. Many of negative stories about ICU were fake.

I'd consider them to be conservative but not ultra conservative, certainly not extremist.

Nah I just consider anything Wahbahi Salafi organized to be dangerous, bc they always get run out by the extremists and they become argagixiso. Happened with the Mujahidiin in Afghanistan and it happened in Somalia with the ICU molding into alshabaab terrorists that blow themselves up and kill civilians.

If only Siad Barre went through with having parliamentary elections. I didn't know that the SNM and USC had close ties. Don't understand the hatred the two qabils have for each other if they had the same goal of toppling the kacaan. Hopefully things will improve

So what happened between 1995 and 1998? I'm guessing nothing significant and just clan warfare?

What did SL think of the ICU threat? If ICU was coming for PL, then it was inevitable for them to come after SL later on. Did they not consider them a threat?
