shot in the leg kuyeh..the desperation is real.
Wallahi Hawiye parents are too miskiin. They need to teach their kids what truly happened in the civil war otherwise soon youll have nacas like Sheikh saying they won the war.
USC killed Col Isaaq Biixi, USC killed Gen Dhegobacayr, USC killed Gen Cabdalla Faadil, USC killed Col Gardheer, USC killed General Morgans brother Cabdi Siciid, USC even kidnapped Afwaynes son, and countless other Daroods but you won't find Hawiyes gloating about this.
Even when they killed Col Shabeel in Gedo, USC avenged his death by slaughtering 40 of their men in Kismaayo on the same day.

Aideed alone drove these lot beyond the Kenyan border, sent his militiamen to bring them back into the border and were executed on the spot. Then declared a new jabhad the SNA in their territory- even recruiting the same defeated Darood and Raxanweyn into the ranks.
Literally every jabhad in the country (except the SNM) had to ally with either Aideeds Salbalaar or Ali Mahdi's G12 movement to survive![]()
Caydiid enjoyed some early successes for two key reasons. Neither had to do with any tactical genius or bravery, but in fact relied on cowardice and deception:
1. He looted all the military stockpiles as he marched onto Mogadishu, and was given arms also by defecting hawyie troops (who made up the bulk of the SNA cannon fodder). This made him much better armed than anybody else in the country
2. He began his attacks on defenseless civilians unaware that he intended to attack them, and then pursued them as they tried to flee him instead of having the brains to remain in Mogadishu and establish a government
These advantages evaporated a few months into the conflict when the Darood civilians quickly organized their militias and pushed back hard against Caydiid. He was kicked out of Gedo, Kismayo and the southern regions. The counter-attacks were so brutal that there is an entire area of Gedo known as 'Hawyie skeletons' because of all the mooriyan who were killed there during the counter push. The tactics of the SNF were fantastic and many reports from the period note they were the strongest force in the country. Unlike Caydiid who relied on killing and looting civilians and overall chaos and barbarism, the Darood forces like the SNF had a military strategic vision. Even your own post supports this. While the Darood killed Col Shabelle, a drunkard who was the key USC military man in the South, the USC responded by slaughtering 40 random Daroods who had nothing to do with it. It shows one group is thinking strategically achieving military aims, while the other group is operating on base, animalistic urges.
