Where would you see Somalia today if the islamic courts Union didn’t get defeated by the USA back in 2006?

In 2006, under 7 months of Islamic Courts Union(ICU) rule. Law and order was established for the first time since 1991. Qabilism was practically banned, there was no more infighting, small moryaaan militant groups were dismantled and joined the ICU under one law, under one God, under one Sharia law. This was the first time where Somalis were United as one, the Islamic principles was finally into the heart and minds of the Somali people rather than being munafiq by killing each other through qabilism etc. In 2006, even in somaliland, in Burco, there was talks to join the ICU. ICU was expanding fully within Somalia, during their 7 month rule, they basically controlled all of southern and central Somalia, and small parts of southern puntland.

Unfortunately Ethiopia got threatened as they didn’t want Somalia to be United as one, Ethiopia already seeing the bordering towns like Caabuduwaaq of the Somali region joining ICU, and Ethiopia feared that ICU will expand deep within the Somali region to form Greater Somalia ie Somaliweyne. Ethiopia got soo scared they called their masters the USA to help arm them etc to declare war on ICU and unfortunately during the fierce war, ICU was dismantled and the extreme section of the ICU formed Al Shabaab and that was the birth place of the terror group, basically USA/Ethiopia created Al Shabaab.

Had Ethiopia didn’t call their master the USA for help, Somalia would’ve been a powerful country United as one, it would’ve been more powerful than siad barre era where even the muslim oromos would’ve been keen to join ICU thus we would’ve taken control of the main source of Shebelle river and Jubba river.

Look at this map, look how fast ICU had expanded within Somalia, in their 7 months of their rule. In two years the whole of Somaliweyne would’ve been under ICU and we would’ve been a superpower in the region but unfortunately USA/Ethiopia installed a weak federal government of Somalia, where they can’t even control their own bathroom let alone Mogadishu.

This shows, that Islam can united us Somalis as one, this demonstrates to us that following the sunnah of the prophet Muhammed PHBH and the Quran properly would cure the disease of qabilism which unfortunately this disease is in the hearts and the minds of majority of the Somali population, this disease encourages munafiq behaviour which is a major sin and a major sin that punishes us Somalis till this day.

What do you think? Would Somalia be in a much better position had ICU not lost? Or do you think that Somalia today the “Installed Federal Government of Somalia” is better?

The UIC was proto Al Kabab. They were at their core extremist sympathizers, leftovers of the takfiri AIAI who were defeated in the 90s.

Somalia would have ended up a theocracy ruled by Arab wannabes like the malcuun Ina Godane. The best thing that ever happened was the slaughter of these khawarij in Bay and Lower Juba by our Ahlu Kitaab Ethiopian allies.

Not really, ICU was completely different. It was led by Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, the former president of Somalia and at that time, Somalia was completely a lawless country before ICU took control, in that 7 month rule it was at its peace since 1991 and it was expanding. Why would you prefer this installed weak federal government which the constitution was made by bloody Meles Zenawi TPLF a gaal who’s agender was to make Somalia weak etc. Come on mate, had ICU didn’t get defeated, Somalia would’ve been a superpower, full of development, jobs and under one law.

You must be young, so much hope.

ICU was made up of mostly Hawiye clans and they should have stayed within their borders and stabilized their regions. They dropped the ball once they decided to head north and were met with resistance from Sacad/MJ.

They had a great opportunity but were overly ambitious and it cost them. I remember Indocadde saying they would capture Addis Ababa and have Eid prayers there like wtf.:mjlol:

No, obviously there was pro federal government sections which caused civil war at the end, the likes of Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed AUN, who founded puntland, ran to his masters to Ethiopia in Addis Ababa like a baby crying about ICU expanding to puntland and other regions. You trying to turn ICU like a qabil focused group it wasn’t like that unlike you who supported a federal government of Somalia a qabil focused project.

All qabils from southern and central Somalia joined ICU, to support one law the sharia law, not gaalo man made law from Ethiopia who’s agenda was to cause division amongst the Somali people through qabilism etc and to weaken Somalia.

look at you saying, why don’t we just focus on “our regions” bro, look at your region today, it’s a shithole like the rest of Somalia, no jobs, no development and no opportunities especially for the young generations. We would have been better United as one, through sharia law, with the dhikr of Allah, we wouldn’t have a such crap country as now.

The only way to unite Somalia as one is through Islamic means, as it will cure qabilism etc and we would cleanse our hearts and souls to treat each other with respect and dignity, no matter what qabil you are. That’s my opinion, and in the last 10 years, the federal government of Somalia, the system is not working, we can’t even do proper elections, the federal government of somalia is soo weak and corrupted and somalia currently is a laughing stock of the world. Don’t use that “ma qabil card,” “or ma region”when I’m speaking from an Islamic prospective, Somalis are Muslim, somalia is a Muslim country, we should be ruled under one god under one law from Allah, sharia law not some gaal named Meles Zenawi, who’s dead now.

ICU might've not been perfect but they were the closest to consolidating Somalia main and setup rule of law.

f*ck AS but one thing I agree with them is that FGS are just the local running dogs of foreign powers.

Exactly, ICU rule was the only one that actually established law and order since 1991. Yet some here prefer this weak installed federal government of Somalia. 🤦🏾‍♂️
 
You think alshabab doesnt establish law and order?
Mate, Al Shabaab is completely different to ICU, ICU was a moderate Islamic union run government, the likes of Al Shabaab was created by USA/Ethiopia after the fall of ICU. Al Shabaab is just an extremist khawarif terrioist group which is not Islamic in any sense. Majority of the ICU members joined the newly created transitional government back in 2008, where the former leader/chairman of the ICU Sharif Sheikh Ahmed had became the president of the transitional government of Somalia until the newly created installed federal government of Somalia in 2012.

So no Al Shabaab doesn’t establish law and order but by chaos and meyhem. Those who are pro installed federal government of Somalia need to go back to who wrote the constitution of this weak federal government, the man who founded this weak installed federal government of Somalia was Meles Zenawi, this man created Al shabaab.
 
No. You can see in their action that they are hypocrites that don't follow what they preach.
How so... when many somalis favour alshabab run courts over the fg ones.
Secondly i'm sure they'd be doing a much better job if they weren't engaged in a protracted war with west and their puppets.

It wasnt totally moderate... sections of it were. Alshabab was also not created after the ethiopian invasion but before it and it was part of the ICU. You seem to have a habit of blaming everyone but somalis.

ICU was a precursor to AS. The harshest members of AS were present in the ICU. Albeit they were viewed as ultra conservatives even within the Islamic Courts.

The ICU’s intentions to people outside of their clan and deegaans were not pure. They wanted to destroy what peace SL and PL built and kill Muslims (excerpt below)

Knowing this it stands to reason an intervention was inevitable. Just my thoughts.

Listen to what Xassan Dahir Aweys (high ranking member of the ICU) had to say.

It sounds like he has more in common with Muhammad Siad Barre than any culumo I know.:ummhmm:

I don’t like the guy, but there is no proof that he wrote that document. He didn’t claim it. The TFG passed it to the Chinese and were the last to edit it.

ICU was probably the last chance of a single Somali polity, a federal Somalia like what we have now just isn't a viable state, somewhere like South Sudan or the Central African Republic could be viable federal states because they are resource rich and look like this.

Good luck developing as an arid desert, resource poor de-centralized confederation
