I stopped taking you seriously after you claimed ICU held democratic elections. As some have pointed out, you use sources selectively and usually old sources when newer ones are available that don’t help your points. Have some shame
It was reported that they were pushing for democratic elections, which is true. They weren't there for long so they weren't able to hold the elections. But the fact they were pushing for elections showed further how they were trying to give power back to the people.
Old sources take precedents, the closer the source/reporting is to the event in question , the greater the reliability and accuracy.
If something happened in year 1921 and a guy who lived at that time wrote about it vs an author who didn't wrote about it 2020, which one would you prefer?
Also it's hilarious to accuse me of selective sources. Because my sources are mixed , books articles from Somali authors, interviews , eye witness testimonies and then also outside foreign sources like the newspapers, classified documents etc.
I mix it and try to find corroboration, not only to strengthen their reliability but i also know if i use a single say source yall will say ''Its propaganda from this and that'' .
For example i showed classified documents that reveled how all these insurgents were proxies for Ethiopia .
14 leading SNM were invited by Mengistu's Colonel Moges and housed by Ethiopia funded and armed to kick start their insurgencies, and carry out the plan of secession coined by the Ethiopian general.
Col. Moges was pretty much organizing everything, replacing certain SSDF and SNM leaders replacing them with someone else, putting them together etc.
Why do you think the Isaaq Elders in the North said that the SNM was ''Plunging the north into desolation and chaos while they themselves were living comfortably abroad''
It because they were based in England and Ethiopia were they organized themselves and first popped up.
But i also showed an interview from a leader into those insurgents literally confessing to being proxy for Ethiopia and taking commands from them.
SNM leaders shamelessly brag about it on television as well
''Then i ensured Mengistu i will obey his commands''
During this time might i add, the Ethiopian government was issuing genocidal decree's on destroying Muslims and collectively punishing them.
and was hatching out plans on how to implement Isreal style ethnic cleansing on Ogadenians
And these traitors went and locked arms and took on orders from them to bring chaos and destruction to their country. And are actively trying to politically leverage the destruction they created
There is nothing they can say that will justify this betrayal, you can point at the Somali government all you want but nothing will justify going to a foreign historical enemy to fight your own people.
Our ancestors never sought support from Ethiopia, no matter what dispute we had internally amongst eachother.
You will find me showing even letters and mission statements sent out by those insurgents as well.
So yeah there is nothing selective about it.
And also as far as Abdullahi Yusuf goes he literally confesses to a lot of in his own crimes and treason in his Somali written book that others have shared and when he was exiled and in his last years before passing in 2011 interview he regretted supporting the Ethiopia backed 2006 invasion but here you are defending him to slander ICU.
