We Surre are more grateful for the financial support you guys gave to us during the Xeerale conflict in the early noughties.
Dr Yalaxow, Abdirahman Tuur coined the phrase 'to kill a snake, you have got to hit it on the head'. Do you think USC would have ever existed if it wasn't for the shrewdness of the Isaaq SNM leaders to open up a second front in the South. I understand if Darood have issues with Isaaq laakin you have no borders or historical beef with them.
You are right SNM was behind the founding of USC to disperse Siyad Barre not to kill his kins. Daniel Compagnon, Professor of Political Science at Science Po Bordeaux said:

Because Siyad refused to leave power when given the option or to make sincere concessions—to the Manifesto group for example—until he was forced to flee by the USC uprising, and because he destroyed the state as well as the economy through his strategy of political survival, the subsequent two decades of anarchy are as much a product of Siyad’s regime as the consequence of the liberation front’s irresponsible behavior. Unlike in Ethiopia, where the EPRDF was able to use the predominantly Amharic state apparatus to tighten its grip, there were no government institutions left in Somalia over which the victors could take control.
To promote an era of peace and reconciliation in Somalia, facilitate a negotiated political settlement based on justice, and to end the culture of impunity, it is important to acknowledge this history and its enduring legacy.

Siyad Barre left no country behind to rule as he said prior to his departure. What is happening now in Somalia isn't only USC mistake but Siyad Barre mistake at the first place.
