The famous battle of Qooro tag (Erected Penis)

[Bohol]

The battle was led by Libaaxo(SY) with 17 technicals belonging to the Sacad Yoonis, while
the HJ only had 1 technical.

This is the guy that led it his real name was Xasan Shire (Libaaxo/aka the lion).

Qooro Tag


"On 18 March 1991, SNM/Habar Jeclo and Habar Yoonis forces came to the
Sool region. There were 17 technicals of Habar Yoonis and one technical of
Habar Jeclo. The Isaaq fighters killed eight Dhulbahante in the countryside
and in small villages. The forces also looted the villages. On the same day 11
technicals of Habar Yoonis/Sacad Yoonis and one technical of Habar Jeclo/
Reer Idle and one big truck full of men came to a watering place called Dogoble.
The leader of these forces was called Libaxo. Here they killed 46 unarmed men
from Dhulbahante/Naaleeye Axmed. They also stole their animals. On 19 March
1991 the force came to a place called Bancadde near Xudun, where Naaleeye
Axmed/ Reer Jibril reside. The people saw the big truck with the SNM flag and
greeted the men. They thought they had come in peace. The technicals were in
the back. The SNM fighters said: ‘We come in peace, lay down your weapons’.
The men from Reer Jibril did so; then the technicals came and 30 Dhulbahante
men were killed. The Isaaq also stole many camels. The last killings happened
near a tree named qalloocato [crooked]. After the massacre the Isaaq renamed
the place qooro tag (standing penis). When a man dies suddenly he has an erection.
Now, if a Habar Yoonis hears this name [qooro tag] from a Dhulbahante he will run;
he will fear revenge. (Interview with Fu’aad Aadan Cadde, Laascaanood,
05.11.2003)




Fu’aad Aadan Cadde lost two brothers in the last massacre near Bancadde.
When I once mentioned the Bancadde massacre during a qaad session in
Laascaanood, the reaction came immediately. Dr Siciid exclaimed: ‘We cannot
forget this. The widows and orphans of the men killed are still alive. Now
everybody is waiting. If new violence escalates between Isaaq and Dhulbahante,
we will take revenge. The massacre is one of the reasons why people here
[in Laascaanood and much of Sool region] are against Somaliland’ (interview with
Cabdullahi Qalafo, Cali Ciise and Dr Siciid, Laascaanood, 07.11.2003). Only one
person ever mentioned that the killings in Sool in March 1991 had actually been
revenge killings by Isaaq for atrocities committed before by Dhulbahante (interview
with Xasan Awad, Laascaanood, 26.11.2003)"

Isnt Libaaxo a females name.? A man should called Libaax not Libaaxo

He was nicknamed Libaaxe (real name Col.Xasan Shire) in the official records of
SNM but in some of the English texts were written as libaxo in error.

Because thread like this, One day your kids would to be so self shame to claim Somali. Keep posting the hate history

@Canuck There is no smoke without fire. Col. Hassan Shire Libaahe avenged for the Siad Bare government attack on Bohol
earlier in 1989. Siad Bare loyalists started the hate.

People use the forum to unite their people and build their country spread peace not hate and division. However it is your choice but do not regret in the future when the name of Somalia/SL or anything Somali disppeared from map and our nationality turned to just tribe called Somali in east Africa. Bye

 

[Bohol]

Relax. The area is peaceful today and there is no hard feelings between the communities
in question. 18/03/1991 was just another chapter in history, that is all.

Siad Barre loyalist did not start the hate, it was Derg (Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia). By the mid-1980s, more resistance movements supported by Ethiopia's communist Derg administration had sprung up across the country. Barre responded by ordering punitive measures against those he perceived as locally supporting the guerillas, especially in the northern regions.

I rather to think about future like next year and how to prepare for drought in north, job creation, food security more important than what had happened quarter century ago

@Zak Jingo I don't care about Derg. The attack on SY civilians was the sole responsibility of Siad Bare, his followers paid it in
kind.

Adeer don't believe the bohol thing his talking about was a battle between nalaye ahmed and hy 100 militia man from hy were killed in it
There was also multiple other battles with the same results
The only hy executed were supporting terrorist and it was in erigabo

"Habar Yoonis forces came to the Sool region. There were 17 technicals of Habar Yoonis " 17 of the 18 fighting technicals
belonged to us, we also led that fight. It is our glory, we know who hides behind who.


Your beloved HJ though bringed 1 technical to the battle.

 

[Zak Jingo]

No, the attack on SY civilians was the sole responsibility of Derg, if they had not exercised their radical beliefs on the people, then their would've been no Civil war. The death of every Somali since 1991 was because of Derg. I'm totally against Siad (AUN) actions towards his own people, and (AUN) to the people who where effected by it.

Yeah you
Who else is shameless enough to hide behind his clansmen enemyobamadatazz

 

[Bohol]

@Zak Jingo Targetting of Isaaq communities started way before the creation of SNM, specially in the Haud in 1979. WSLF started
targeting the communities there which forced many Isaaq colonels to quit the army such as Mohamed Ali.

@Freebandz Do you want a repeat of Qooro Tag aka geedka Qalloocato? This time it will happen in somewhere else
in Xudun district and we will give it a new name.

[Bohol]

@Freebandz I am not sure how many tikniikos we have today, but 17 is very good number for that battle and a show of power.
At least we didn't bring one technical that is the joke of the century I am sure even beesha Madow weyne can bring over one.
