Here is the interview:
He was/is absolutely spot on. The response of the government to that rebellion, and Gen.Morgan's method in putting an end to it, was damn right reasonable. He had to maintain the unity and harmony of the county.
As for the civilian casualties and suffering, whilst it was sad and tragic, it was to be expected. Hell, SNM, is partly to blame, it was their fault for hiding in heavily populated areas, whilst commiting attacks on army barracks and on government building and officials.
I just love how, some folks, will cry about what happened in the 80s, day and night, curse 'Abo Siyad' after every Salah, label Gen.Morgan 'The Butcher of Hargeisa', and look to separate from other Somalis, with hopes of an independent Issaq country. They'll do and say all of that, whilst they praise and label, a 'Mujahid', to the Issaq General, who oversaw the death and destruction across Dal Udug in the aftermath of the disastrous '77 war.
Seems, Somali hypocrisy knows no bounds.
