The crime in the south is organised by the government whilst in the north although there is corruption too, its not organised by the government and they do not kill their civiliansIf I say this, people will get upset, but it's the truth. In the 90s, when the Hawiye warlords, trained an army of mooryaans, to massacre innocent civilians. They didn't count on the fact, that these mooryaans, would make their lives a misery. Those tuugo, had children, and it's their children, that are 'soldiers' today, extorting and shooting them. I even saw a video of an Cadaan lady tourist that went to Liido beach, and was harassed by a soldier asking for 100 USD. SMH
Whereas in the North, yes, there are criminals, but they don't target civilians. They are either suit wearing white collar criminals, or they are drunks/khat heads, that kill each other. But civilians are safe from them (outside of aano qabiil bullshit in Mudug).
