This was during an evacuation of 281 American nationals on 4 January 1991, just 22 days before the civil war kicked off. Tsk Tsk...

I was living in a house near the SILIGA MAREYKANKA when th civil war started and I remeber ppl pilaging and loothing it. Brand new 4wds and other cars were loothed whoever was able to drive has got a car. But there was some government soldiers at the gate that has taken the loothed cas from the loothers :lol:

The odd thing I remember is how every1 was drinking everything they found that was in a bottle or a can :clap:
even our reer shabele booyaas brought home 12 cans of Heineken as home and got too drunk to do the house chores, ma cusin has beaten him up for this.

there was this Soldier who felt very hot after drinking big bottle of Qamri and jumped in the pool :lol: He sank to the bottom and after few minutes some guy has taken him out of the pool but the guy has shitted on himself shuban ayuu ka wareegay ur badan gurigii waa laga kala yaacay. oo qof bililiqeystay ma laha.

meesha balaayo ayaa ka dhacday :lol:

Cool sxb, Guriga abtigeey oo Xoosh ku yaala ayaan kusoo qaxnay. waxaa u dhowaa embassies and houses that were ocupaied by foreigners all were loothed.

Ina abtigey was sifting through a sackful of foreign currency money, he was tossing the Lira and other useless money our way and keeping the dollar notes, he must have been a big mooryaan. the next day he loother the Palastine embassy and got himself a cool motorcycle and few bicycles for us 8-)

He had a Faal gurey gun and fired few rounds evey few hours to make us shit on ourselves.

The Somali Army looted it completely as they did much to Mogadishu before the USC drove them out.
Several Darood soldiers of the Somali Army were trapped inside the vaults and their corpses found 18 months later when the US returned to Somalia.

Kambuli's NSS unit was there and busy trying to loot all the booze they could get their hands on.
