aidid stopped free aid and occupied d&m.
SNF Darood collation pushed through the riverine areas twice. Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabelle was the main battle ground and land changed hands so many times during the 2 Darood counteroffensives to capture Mogadishu. Basically the area which was Somalia's breadbasket was looted, blundered, burned and missed several harvest seasons due to SNF & USC wars over Southern Somalia. Not only that, the Marexaan in particular cleansed all Rahanweyn from Gedo. The victorious USC occupied the area past 1993 until they were driven out by Ethiopian supported RRA, Rahanweyn Resistance Army. By far the clan who suffered greatest casualties was the Rahanweyn. Somali civil war was their own Holocaust.
