Dilla was not a massacre, it was a battle. Don't compare the genocide of Isaaqs made by the Somali government with a battle between pro-Afweyne Gadabuursi forces and SNM. Only reason people call it a massacre is to defame Isaaqs and use it for whataboutism arguments ("Oh them Idöörs are also guilty theyre not innocent at all zomfg aabo siyaad was right")
Gadabursi aligned themselves with Siad Barre when Jibril Abakor sub-clan of the Habar Awal (
@Younes Osman) offered them to join SNM. They made themselves a clear enemy. Then Gadabursi militia heavily armed by Siad Barre massacred Jibril Abokor people first in Gabiley district and tried to take their land.
General Jidhif, who led the 99th SNM division, did not massacre Gadabursi. This is all false. His mother who was Gadabursi herself actually stopped him. All he did was erase Afweyne presence in Awdal region and karbashed the pro-Afweyne militia that committed horrendous crimes against Jibril Abokor civilians.
Peace talks were made after General Jidhif accomplished his mission. After that Gadabursi pledge loyalty to Somaliland and are an integral part of SL today, holding the Vice Presidency and have been perhaps the longest serving president of SL (2003-2010).
