If ICU was left alone and no one intervened Somali's would be ruling the whole of East Africa today, many of you are too young to realise the landscape and what was happening at that time.
Courts were spinning up in much of Somalia, there was even talk of Islamic courts in Kenya/Ethiopia and as far away as Tanzania.
The Somalis split into groups in ways I have never seen before purely on ideological lines, the Pure Islamic types Vs Anti-Islam + sick Qabiilist blocks.
The leader of S/land at that time was almost murdered by a car bomb by ICU supporter, people started growing their beards everywhere, revolts were brewing in religious towns like Burco, in fact much of the finance was coming from religious circles in S/land.
In Puntland the wadaads whom in the 90's allied with Dahir aweys al-Itihad that took over the entire region including mudug until the Ethiopian's troops invaded headed by Abdullahi Yusuf, were starting to make a return, several P/land officials were assassinated as a result, but they were outnumbered to do much on the ground until other forces reached them (which never happened)
Another revolt took place in Gaalkacayo, for the first time in history you had the traitor elements of Sacad/lealkase/Omar Mahmoud united against their Islamic fraction from the same clan's, two blood brothers were fighting each other on opposing sides much like during the battle of Badr.
It was the same story in Mogadishu, Qeybdiid, Qanyare, Suudi Yalaxow and Mohamed Dheere were fighting their own clan's, the same story in Kismaayo, you had the MX/Ceyr allied with Barre Hiiraale facing up against the same ICU allied ones.
There was a famous incident were two cousins on opposing sides one wounded from the Barre side, violated protocol and went into the hospital to finish off his own cousin, similar stories throughout the country.
There is no doubt once the world order collapses another such conquest will happen, Islam is the only force capable of uniting Somali's, and the reason for that is that we have too much filth amongst us and once the Islamic flags are raised like the ICU did, we become two distinct camps of Islam & Kufr, like all our previous conquests, no qabiilist can hide or sow discord
Your either Munafiq Gaal or Muslim, no such thing as I am secessionist or represent federal state bull crap, you will fall into the Kufr Gaal category and will be slain by your own religious community.
