Mengistu's regime starved over 1 million Ethiopians, but was eventually toppled.
Yet you don't see the Ethiopians saying "Ethiopia killed my people".
My grandpa was a land surveyor when he returned from Detroit in 1982 to work as a surveyor for gobolka waqooyi galbeed using airplanes to survey the land, he flew to Riyadh where his brother was also working on road mapping and civil engineering.
When he returned home in 1987 he was jailed in some conspiracy of working with SNM elements in Saudi Arabia, and was given the death penalty, he broke out of jail and joined the movement because of the level tribalism in the government, my father hears of this at the age of 17.
His mother tries to fly him and my uncle to the UK but my father escaped at night to join the rebellion and remained fighting for 2 years, struggling to remove these **** ***** from their land, when he was shot twice and was in a coma for 3 months.
He woke up in dire dawa and was told a ethiopian doctor oversaw his treatment, after in 1990 he went back to the border but was not in condition to fight, when he went back to hargeisa in 1991 he heard his father was ambushed and shot deadly by remnants of the SNA in a car in North hargeisa.
When he found the location the nomads their buried him already, when my father asked if they saw a rolex, badge, and pistol (he was working at Detroit police depart at one point) they said no, so these scumbags looted him.
When I say f*ck Somalia, and that I have nothing to do with that blue flag, I meant it.
My tribe and my clan in extension prior to the colonial era had no ties with 'Somalia' there was no unified somali state, and when we wanted it sincerely, who fucked it up with the coupes? The Marxism? The killings of scholars? The killing of protesters? It wasn't us, but the donkeys that you today still dearly hold onto as leaders.
