So if a White man was mistreated by an African would that justify the killing on a mass scale of other Africans? And also I think you need to understand that the North had very little political influence rather than proportional representation in government. Also Isaaq were denied the right to run for positions in government. Who can say for certain what Egal's intentions were? At the worst it was an act of treason and attempted murder punishable by death but only his death and not the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents. Only an idiot would think one act of betrayal from a single member of a particular people would justify attempted murder of all members of that people.Nothing in this world is unprovoked. I really do not think Barre waked up one day and said, "I want to kill some people from the North today"
This butterfly effect started from the Norths Betrayal of Somalia, and their continuous attempt to undermine Siad Barre
Even Mohamed Egal undermined Barre when he was a Officer in the Army, to the point where he tried sending Barre to the Soviet. Do you think that someone treated this bad, would have love for people like that?
