Next the SNM attacked hargeisa on May 31st. The government then armed ogaden and oromo refugees from the camps and directed them to kill isaaqs. Soldiers broke into houses and told fathers to bring out his prostitutes. When they refused, they were shot and their girls raped. Soldiers went around schools and abducted the healthiest students. They were taken to hargeisa hospital and bled to death. Planes took off from the airport and released bombs onto civilian areas. Missiles were rained down onto the city and like burco was completely destroyed. After months of killings, Morgan wrote to siyaad to tell him isaaqs were too numerous to exterminate and old men women and children were led on death marches to the desert. Spotter planes used to fly over this march and alerted bombers to come and bomb the convoy. The Dhabar goynta isaaq used to roam the countryside and killed nomads they found. Landmines were also placed in watering holes and wells that people drank from were poisoned. Those who managed to make it across to Ethiopia stayed in 'Geneva' the transit camp and wasn't provided with any shelter at all. Afterwards, they were moved to hartisheikh. The only food you were provided was Sorghum or Haruur and diseases spread around the camp like wildfire.
Eventually, the conditions got slightly better as refugees set up stalls and sold food and other materials.
