The true dynamics between LK and other clans in Mudug summed up below.
-Leelkasse has been playing Sacad and Puntland and even MJ against each other for years, as in, when LK has been with Puntland Government, they used to get help from Sacad.
It was their way of trying to barter to get more power from Puntland.
-Years ago, this was after 2016 peace conference, MJ offered help to Leelkasse and said, either we seek a joint war against HG or we get a joint peace. Leelkasse refused MJ help and said 'we will make peace with HG alone'. They thought they had a beneficial 'arrangement' with them.
Finally, this latest conflict between LK and Sacad, Majeerteen said 'we will give money and weapons'. Remember, they are the ones who refused our help years ago, and now they're angry that we are not sending militias to them.
Additionally, LK has refused to form an alliance with Wagerdhac who also has beef with HG. Asking yourself why? Well, their number 1 concern, is protecting their degmo in Galdogob from all clans and especially the Daarood clans who they fear will live with them and eventually, form a threat to their dominance there.
Long story short; they have made a fatal error by refusing MJ help to remove Sacad from their deegaan historically.
