chilinbadboy, rouge units ? stop the lies.

Its distasteful to insult a women. kambuli along with rightwing, based etc are one of the few old enough on this forum who lived through the kacaan. One should 'listen' to their views.

I think it is important to distinguish between the kacaan and its leaders.

Indeed, some could argue that the seeds of our problems today were sawn in 1969 when a democratically elected government was overthrown albeit in a bloodless coup. Others could also argue that the kacaan took place because of widespread tribalism and corruption. And that the kacaan (at least for a decade or so) formed our identity as a strong nation. It built institutions, it gave as a written language and that we became feared as a great nation. As a matter of fact, many of the artefacts of the "kacaan" (everything from governance to institutions) are potent. Many people in Somalia view the kacaan times with nostalgia.

Whatever views we hold, the 21st of october, is a day to remember for good or worse.

BTW: this was how the kacaan was announced on the morning of the 21st October, 1969.

The Kacaan sole intention wasn't to massacre people and neither did the Kacaan use civilians as human-shields in which both SNM did.

The Kacaan was a government had everything right to fight against a rebel group same way modern countries today are fighting against rebel groups in their country let it be UKRAINE, SYRIA, BRITAIN (against Irish rebels) and other countries.

Your parents should give the stolen moonies back. Xaram ku nool...

Arguing about a dead Somali leader and dead rebel groups won't change the reality of what Somalia is today; no matter how pretty a picture one paints of the past the fact that the present is so ugly leaves a lot questions about how pretty the past was.....

just because you say it's a fact does not mean it's a fact, don't be a fact monger.
Today's Somalia has many new players, who have different ideals as you can see were both typing from foreign countries so not much has changed.

It punishment against Majerteen civilians were carried out by a Isaaq general without the consent of Siyaad Barre for the sole intention to retaliate against the treason of Abdullahi Yusuf whom massacred innocent people in Balanbale and Galdogob whilst bringing Ethiopian troops into their country. And that Isaaq general was punished for his action by the government.

It's punishment against Isaaq in Mogadishu were men that were caught aiding the rebel groups they were killed for treason.

Throwing bombs from the sky was a method to fight against SNM, same way USA is busy bombing ISIS from the sky today. Whatever civilians die it is collateral damage thats all, the intention is not to kill civilians but to defeat rebels. Use your brains you emotional faggot.
