what caused the destruction of Somalia? very insightful interview with former Somali ambassador to USA

[Abdi Caato]

a very insightful interview with Maxamed Warsame Cali (nickname Kiimiko), member of Siad Barre government, former Somali ambassador to USA, founder & first president of Galmudug

Kiimiko (Ilaahay ha u naxariisto) cited the 77 war with Ethiopia, aggressively pursued by Siad Barre, and the consequences of this war as the main cause for Somalia's destruction

The 1977 foreign policy might have been problematic or unwise but unrelated to Afweyne managing to turn the USC liberation struggle into a Jabarti vs Haawiye war over Muqdusho, just as wild non tribal youth/gangs were taking over the streets of Muqdisho.

OG clan military leader CumarJees warning about Manifesto group undermining new transitional government and Afweyne turning the Southern liberation war into Haawiye vs Jabarti conflict

Lets also give credit to party boy CaliMahdi breaking the USC/SNM/SPM agreement for a transitional government. CaliMahdi betrayal caused the SNM to force defeated proregime Northern clans to sign JSL independence since they felt there was no longer a Southern partner after CaydiidUSC got undermined by Manifesto party boy CaliMahdi the man who played almost no role in liberating Muqdisho
