I cannot believe people are arguing with you that any of these militias aren’t foreign proxies. They’re all English acronyms, literally every single militia is an English acronym. There was a whole wikileaks about three of the post ‘93 militias being paid by the USA.
Every single leader of the USC, SNM and SSDF has flat out admitted that they plotted and formed in ETHIOPIA.
It’s like Somalis refuse to admit facts even if they’re as clear as day.
No the Somali National Movement is not a grassroots rebellion lmfao.
It's all driven by foreign states and actors from the outside and they try to mislead people by calling it a civil war.
The best way to understand is to look at how the locals perceived them. That's why i emphasized this the most.
