Yup, the civil war was a complete shit show, but I think SNM were more organised than other rebel groups, remember they and the SSDF were the only ones to enter Somalli territory with foreign Ethiopian military, no one talks about this but the SNM were in Borama with Mengistu tanks killing Somali civilians who they deemed pro-Somali government.Typhoon wrote: Tue Nov 20, 2018 3:23 am explain why was abdiaziz ali barre still in control of hargeisa, burco and berbera while siyaad was in baydhabo
siyaad fell in january 20 and snm entered hargeisa in late April early may
you have no clue about the genesis of the somali civil war
iska orphan habashi ba tahay go speak to abdiwahab and voltage because they are well versed in those early days
70 percent of the somali civil war is undocumented so your little sources is from arm chair observers
go read old snet threads and you will be suprised how much is unwritten
by the time snm entered northern cities they were already infighting and were infighting and were overwhelmed by maryo calool, thats why snm veterans are drinking wisky in their wheel chairs with a military fatigue jackets just like tom cruise movie born of the 4th of July

A lot of undocumented massacres, we only really talk about Mogadishu residents fleeing to Kismaayo and then to Dhoobley before exiting the country, but there are countless other fronts, and people groups in their tenth of thousands fleeing and dying because of rebel groups, and it was not just Mogadishu, we are just more aware because we make up 80% of the diaspora, the others probably were massacred or died in camps, like how Rer Baidoa were starved to death by Aidiid.
