500 is wrong. Conservative estimate is 2000 but it has been said 5000 have been killedguhad122 wrote:The numbers were not that high; more like 500 but still that was the single most civilian massacre of the civil war..A fleeing refugees who wanted to leave and cross the border were thrown into the river. Even babies were thrown into the river. Like you said, just a little bit after that, the entire Xawaadle crossed the border and camps were set up near Shilaabo...Ironically, Ogadens were protecting the fleeing Xawaadle civilians from Reer Aw Xassan who always had beef with Xawaadle. Not even one person was skilled. Remember at that time ONLF was very powerful and basically controlled the entire Ogaden and were about to win the elections.nerdfresh wrote:5000 Ogadens were killed. All thrown in the river. The gugundhabe civilians who tried to save them were also thrown in the river. River infested with crocodiles even babies were not spared. Gugundhabe militia came in to stop those crazy madmen. This is called jalalaqsi genocide it happened in that town. And then hg came to beledweyne and sent the hawadle to Ethiopia but the Ogaden in Ethiopia did not harm the hawadle. The Ogaden welcomed the hawadle refugees and sheltered them. Ogaden are noble men.
This was the biggest massacre in Somali civil war. The river was red for months. People to this day find bones along their farmlands. Majority women and children victims.
This case needs to go to the hague one of them who orchestrated this genocide lives in UK and another on beledweyne
You also forgot what Xawaadle did to the fleeing Habar Gidir civilians from the Muqdisho wars of 2006. When most Habar Gidir civilians fled to Kenya and many IDP relocated to Ceelasha Biyaha, others fled to the Central HG regions. Many of those civilians were raped, robbed, and killed. Rumor has that Xawaadle militias were charging money to civilians in using tree shades at resting places.
Let us wait the naive and the clueless Sahal's irrelevant links and sources.

Jalalaqsi was the third largest city in Somalia it had 80,000 in the camps at one point
