great read. this highlights barre's preference for certain daroods. something every non-marehan understood.

The process of "urbanizing" the Marehan who are mainly nomads put the regime at odds with the public. While most of the people found it difficult to eke-out their daily bread in a country with no resources the President made sure that members of his ethnic group who arrived in the cities got secure sources of income. They were given employment in all government departments where they could make fortunes. The public, already terrorized by what happened to the Majerteen and the high price they paid for their dissent, dare not raise their voices against the daylight robbery of the public wealth.

-Barre's predicament 1986

And as it is universally known, all revolutionists have one common catch phrase "dealing with corruption, favoritism, mismanagement of public affairs, or saving the country from imminent disintegration". This was exactly what the coup leaders and their ranks were saying again and again that morning (October 21, 1969) over the radio and the mounted loud speakers. But the truth is, that was the day on which clouds of bleakness overcast the sky of Somalia, and a wind of fear and insecurity swept the relative harmony that existed at the time.

This is unavoidable for any authoritarian government.

However, I would be interested to know who the author is, who he comes from, and other qabiilist questions.

So, afterall, all along, you were a qabiilist?

[Padishah]

I don't think you know me very well AbuShabaab.

I'm one of the few people here in SNET that does not regularly view things from the lens of qabeel. When the rest of my clansmen were more or less pro-TFG, I refused to have anything do with it, condemned it and hated it. A collection of warlords is not a government. The Executive and Legislative parts of government itself are necessary evils, and having them staffed by unscrupulous individuals of that nature was and still is an absolute nightmare.

I looked favourably on the ICU when it first began to clean up Mogadishu and restore some semblance of Law. Of course, that optimism was blown out of the water when they became a little too enthusiastic about imposing their rule on every corner of the former Somali Republic, even those corners that were stable and secure, like Somaliland, places getting their act together like Puntland, Jubbaland and GalMudug, and generally, anywhere else that wasn't a hellhole of Mogadishuan proportions.

As for the invasion by the Enemy, I support any and all measures for making their lives a living hell while they are in this country, but I stop at this where it causes harm to innocents. Therefore, these suicide bombings, car bombings, shelling military installations in the middle of suburbs and other such tactics seem to me to be a really bad idea. . I've no military expertise, and people like XoogSADE (I think?) are good people to ask, but an insurgency can be conducted with minimal civilian loss of life. Ambush supply lines, IED's that the Iraqi insurgency seems fond of using, and that sort of thing.

As for this particular comment, it was tongue in cheek on my part. That is the typical response when someone makes a criticism of the former government. The implication here is that he is probably a member of my clan with the provervial 'axe to grind'.

Ina Qorshal the VP of SOmalia was sacked because of MSB hate for Beesha. MSB had a deep hate for him and subsequently made the 31st remark about Maakhirians.
