Ohh!i read some where it was more my bad but still its not easy to forget
Numbers are disputed but a good guess would be in the middle
Armed rebellion was the last resort mate .
Afweyne literally tried to wipe out issaq many times .
@Cumar talk some sense into these kids
Why should you be appeased? You think Isaaq are the only clan Siyaad went after? Shit. You don't see every other clan and whine about being independant out of cuqdad against something that happened 30 years ago.Coming from a pro-independence family and being surrounded by friends who are in favour of independence of Somaliland , I'm very sympathetic about the reasons they seek to leave and disassociate with Somalia. By Dad had to flee Xamar after the government started indiscriminately killing and imprisoning anyone they suspected was an isaaq , it was almost some Nazi level attempt to rid Somalia of Isaaq. They bombed Burco , Hargeisa and Berbera with the specific intention of killing civilians , they showed no regard for human life whether it was a child or an elderly person. There intention was destruction , death and extermination of any isaaq in Somalia. So i get why they seek independence from Somalia. However, as a firm believer in Soomaalinimo and a believer that somalis are far stronger united than divided i don't support the bid for independence.
For some serious reconciliation that Somalis so desperately need , i think the future Somali government not the current failmaajo one should undertake these actions.
1. They need to take responsibility for the actions of the previous government and offer a sincere apologise. An apology has so much value , it shows that a person is remorseful of actions that have taken place. It shows that they have taken responsibility for those actions but also and most importantly a sincere apology also shows a willingness to change so that those actions don't occur ever again. A few sincere words will have such a big impact on those who were affected by the campaign.
2. The government should offer repatriations to the families who lost love ones and property during the bombings and targeting in the country. They also should take it upon themselves to pay for any medical treatment for those who were affected by the campaign specifically seeking to help with struggling with mental health issues after the war.
3. Lastly and most importantly the government should seek to find and try those who were responsible for the actions , the bombings in the north and the mass executions of in Xamar of Isaaqs. The obvious man comes to mind , Gen Morgan. All these people who were responsible for the killings and destruction of the North must be tried and brought to justice for the victims to be brought to justice.
Don't make this thread a clan insulting thread , i want civilised debate not insults. Mods do your job.
If you disagree with me , i want to know the reasons why not a one sentence response.
That's what I think as well, yet you see numbers like 200k over social media lol.
