The blame can solely be put on Somalis for what they did during the 90s but when the civil war had finished in 2006, America extended the civil war by greenlighting an illegal invasion that set Somalia back by another decade.
Factions during 1991+, Who were they and what were their goals.
- Thread starter CABDULWALI XASAN.
- Start date
A few members, including certain influential figures and small groups outside his tribe, remained loyal to him. Among all tribal militias, those directly linked with Barre's government were notably the most ruthless. Morgan, who professed loyalty to Barre, committed atrocious acts during his violent actions, contributing to a famine that claimed nearly 500,000 lives. Barre pursued a policy of attempting to replace clans other than his own with his preferred tribes.
In the northern regions, the stories are widely known, particularly the deliberate targeting of Isaaq people through aerial and artillery attacks. There were efforts to resettle Barre's kisnmen in the traditional Isaaq territory, displacing the local population. His soldiers, essentially a militia of his kinsmen, were sent to perpetrate acts of rape and murder. An attempted genocide very much.
Hawiye, although spared the full brunt of what happened to the Isaaq and Raxanweyn, still faced significant repression. This included poisoning wells, seizing land for his kinsmen, killings and the cleansing of intellegentsia.
If anyone should bear blame, it's Siad Barre and his henchmen, who radicalized all of Somalia. His use of clan for power, especially evident in his final days when he prioritized his clan's interests, created a situation where other militia groups saw survival as contingent upon resisting a government intent on tribal genocide. The fact that everything turned into a tribal shit show was clear from the start, Barre used clan to stay in power and overestimated the strength of his own tribe. In the end he lost.

I agree with much of what you said except the attempted part. The genocide was carried out.
Tbe abdullahi Yusuf one?
Can You post source origins from the documents
Lol the Sameroon returned from Ethiopia. There was no permanent change of Awdal's demographics. The Cisse left on their own free will to find a better life in the Djiboutian State. The recent 2021 elections showed there is less than 1k Isaaq living in Awdal. There are more Sameroon in Hargeisa than Isaaq in Borama.

Damn! Is that the origin behind @SPMLegend Name Then what idiots
Wlhi aideed got played by the US Why would they recognize the government of mahdi instead, did Aideed break a term of service agreement for his coup green lit by the us government
HE was trained in the United States I know thats a sign of something greater isnt it, Looks like siad had it good in till 1978 then got another hit in 1982, another with his car crash in 1986 a failed coup somewhere in 1987 then the stuff that went down in the 90s
Neither SNM or SPM had anything to do with the final push to overthrow Barre from Mogadishu. It was USC's sole effort particularly the Abgaal militia under the command of Mehdi.
Well, that's your opinion. Existing literature clearly shows SNM (Afaraad & civilian arm of SNM) used all peaceful measures to address MOD abuse of power in Isaaq territory. It was Barre and his Faqash loyalists who refused to keep their militia fall back in line. They doubled down on their pro Afweyne policies and we had to use force to liberate our homeland. We'll do it all over again if we go back in time.
Saddening, Meeting up in Ethiopian Territory all to benefit ethiopia We were played I can see why rebeling against a leader is not allowed
History dosent repeat but it Often rhymes... Let me have a chance to learn just exit if you dont want to see misery
DAMN YOU ARE ONE FUNNY GUY MAN WHY DID YOU SAY IT SO SMOOTHLY
I miss Siad Barre 
Are you blind?
USC had 2 main factions. Faction led by Caydiid is the one who signed the triple threat agreement. The Mehdi faction, one who actually overthrow Afweyne never recognized the agreement leading SNM to declare independence. It was also the reason Caydiid and Mahdi fought so bitterly. Caydiid saw Mehdi's coup as blatant power move by Mehdi to hijack his 3 years struggle against Barre. He was fighting in the Central and southern regions only for Mehdi to show up last minute in his clan's stronghold in Mogadishu and toke all glory declaring himself as president.
