Eplf was and is legendary.
It crushed black Africa's largest army, Ethiopia.
It United 9 ethnic groups and multiple religious groups under one command. Snm just had to unite one clan who are all of one religion, which is a lot easier.
these isaaqs are rednecks of somalia, just like rednecks think american civil war was about states right, isaaq re-imagen the civil war and their role
every one conveniently forgets, the elephant in the room, the soviet union.
the soviets convinced ethiopians not to invade somalia but to use somali rebel groups hence the the tree initial rebel group with their "S," snm and sdf.
soviet union new every officer in the somali army and their clan grievances.
infect majority the officers that joined rebel groups were trained either by cubans or russians and every officer that was retrained by united states stayed loyal.
snm had no western backers so by using logic there had to be another super power directly or indirectly(soviet union through Libya)
Waachis, a marexaan general abdiaziz ali barre was ruling all 3 major isaaq cities while siyaad barre was on the border of kenya and the government lost mogadishu.
there is a reason the rebel goups could not form a goverment and that is when they turn war in clan warfare, we defeated aidid in 3 battles, gedo, kismayo and gaalkacyo, the later city was liberated by abdiaziz ali barre.
in gedo, aidid deputy a legendary military guy was killed in gedo and his death body was on the new york times.
after the fall of the soviet union non of these rebel groups could sustain their military strategy which was to capture the country and share the bounty among themselves.
dont't you find it ironic and a testament to the majesty of the marehan, that after all these years, the marexaan has produced in span of the last 8 years, 3 prime ministers and the first legitimate and popular somali president after siad barre...am just saying.
the isaaq has never produced a somali leader, infact when was appointed by the late Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, the coupe happened and he was locked up in 1969
2 most powerful rebel groups that overthrew the goverment were, USC(hawiye) which took over the capital and SPM(ogadeen) took over largest land, majority of southern somalia, all the way to the outskirt of mogadishu afgoi.
yet, we the legendary marehan defeated usc and spm( spm divided and majority of ogadeen were with the marexaan and were instrumental in the attempted reconquest of mogadishu)
all am saying is, if a somali tribe is powerful, they have universal aims to rule over all somalis, if not, they are ineffective regional power and not national.
siad barre and farmaajo are from the same clan and and share a sub clan and share a sub sub clan
somali state existed 30 years out of which a marehan ruled 21 years and as soon the federal government god international recognition, guess who became a president?.... a marehan named farmajo
what does that tell you about winners of somali politics of the last 60 years.
we the marehan are beloved by somalis not for what we do for ourself but what we do for the somali race, the somali masses trust us afterall, their glory days was under our stewardship..undisputed(sorry for my chauvinism but their is no other way reading somali clan political history)
