SL is doing the most
With the level of competency demonstrated by the Somaliland government you have to wonder why the international community has not give them a seat on the U.N. But then again if you understand the history of the rebel movement SNM you will come understand that not all is well and that outside forces shaped the events from 1980-1990.
CIA declassified docs on the SNM counted them out and was betting on Siads Regime to win and remain in power. SNM being a homegrown natural movement is why they succeeded
I am talking about the origin story of the SNM. Before they called themselves SNM they use the term four. If you study the relationship between SNM and Mengistu you will get a better understand as to why Somalia was driven to self destruct. Rebel movements that form overnight are not organic.
They were called afaraad and it was formed to rebuke the incursions from the Dabar goynta Isaaq movement who were armed by Barre. So yes, it was organic and it wasn't over night. The Isaaq elders wrote letters to Barre about these issues and he made things worse by arming his clansmen. All of this doesnt happen over night as you put it. It's a last method after trying all others and being pushed to the edge
I am not blaming Isaaq clan elders for rising up against barre after they wrote letters to him about the tensions in the north. I am talking about the method that was employed to show discontent. Barre was a dictator and like all dictators was going to do anything to stay in power. The SNM got funding from outside forces. Those forces wanted to see Somalia self destruct and the SNM wanted to remove a dictator. Guess who got their wish, it was not SNM.
The funding was by and large by Isaaq, and we were based out of our traditional lands in Ethiopia From Harta sheekh to Gashaamo. Your narrative of foreign funding is ironic since Siyad barre himself was being funded by the Americans solely to carry out this war against snm. The dictator was removed and Isaaq who were being wiped out by the SNA and clan militias have been in peace since ever since. I call that a win, a big fucking Win. Might be a loss for Somalians who almost wholeheartedly aided Barre against us
