Considering Twisted_logic, whether a he or a she, is the epitome and apt description of all that is the basis for this topic, the Mudulood position vis-a-vis Somali politics, one would assume such individuals would care to avoid this topic altogether and not set sight within several parameters of anyone speaking of it. However, as the length of our fingers are not created equal, so are the sound judgment and reasoning skills of humans not created equal. Where one would see shame in being the most visible description of all that is spoken here, others have an inherent predisposition that does not allow them to see shame and ingrained in them from centuries of socio-cultural behavior, in this case the lower-grade culture that Mudulood, their clan, are infamous for. In an almost comedic extension, the said individual does not stop there but in their frustration imparts a verbal diarrhea of the most fallacious account ever to grace such pages seeking to speak on the Somali civil war and even prior to that of the legacy of the late Mohammed Siad Barre. Such desperation while humourus in nature beggs to be addressed and I will give a fitting rebuttal divided into two parts. One (1.) I will address the fallacious and humourous account given by the said individual concerning the civil war and the late presidency and two (2.) I will explain and publicly detail why Twisted_Logic is the apt description of all that is the central theme of this very topic.
*One (1.)*
In desperate attempt to negate the topic, Twisted_logic embarked on detailing an almost humorously pitiful account of the civil war and wishing to re-invent history at the expense of reality. Twisted_Logic tried to speak on the overthrow of the late presidency and wished to explain the occurrence in manner bespeaking his/her clannish background; in simple and almost juvenile reasoning. While I do not respect it, I must excuse it understanding the standards set by the individual's humble background.
The reason Mohammed Siad Barre lost grip on power is very simple. Seeing that the North and Hargeisa areas were under his strict control even at the moment of the overthrow is reason enough. Twisted_Logic wished to portray the Somali government/military as a clan faction not understanding in their juvenile reasoning that the Somali military had no clan and that while even if most of the officers were of Siad's Marehan background, the overwhelming foot-soldiers were not. During the ending of the late president's background, what led to the fracture that expelled him from power is a question one must understand when attempting to formulate an opinion on it. The Somali government disintegrated when the military disintegrated. During the ending of the Somali regime's existence, there was widespread desertion of the military when every clan deserted and stood as clans. The Hawiye deserted en mass, the Isaaq deserted en mass, in fact even the Darood deserted en mass led by the Majeerteen. At the beginning of the civil war, the existence of the Somali military was null and void and Siad Barre did not have a state security apparatus under his control. Where is Twisted_Logic, when his/her Hawiye uncles and their alliance of others were yealling the cry "MUSLIM VS. MAREEXAAN" in shrill voices showing the fight to be between Somalis on hand and Marehans on hand in a land that was no traditional Marehan land and even your menial servants as enemy combatants? Where was Twisted_Logic when her clans people who deserted took control of all the Somali armories, all located around Benadir region? Where were you when even the odds were so stacked against the Marehan that even despite the fact that everyone had taken arms against them, had lost control of the armories, had ALL of the countryside and their next-door neighbors as hostile enemy combatants, that the Marehan continued to hold on and fight for over a year before deciding it was time to leave as it was not strategic to continue to stay within the enemy's belly with even your family under enemy target?
It was then that all of the Hawiye clans who had grouped under the USC had started arming themselves with all the left-over apparatus of the Somali military and started trailing Marehans who had fled as families. What is the outcome when militias composed of ready-to-fight men are pitted against men who are desperately trying to find safety for their families? It was in this manner that support from the Rahanweyn (RRA) and other hostile clan's support was solicited by the USC and the Marehan hunt turned into attempted genocide since the Rahanweyn at that time lived with the Marehan in Gedo and were not distinguishable from them. It was because of this reason most Marehans did not stop until they reached the Kenyan border where the men would shuck of their load, i.e families in order to regroup and attack. With this occuring, it was easy for Aydiid's USC militias to penetrate and occupy Gedo for short-term. Battles are lost but what decides the future is the war. In the most glorious military sweep every witness in Somali history, the world press continues to this day speak of the dazzling Mareexaan counter-attack that details the destruction of the USC entity with the death of Aydiid's right hand man Col Shabeel, his mortal injury which led him to go into hidden recuperation for four months, the near casualty rate of 3/4 of the USC fighters and Marehan power-grap of everywhere from Kismaayo to Gaalkacyo. This is the legacy of the civil war for this group. If Aydiid had managed to won the war no one would be speaking of such a minuscule aspect of the Somali civil war like him entering Gedo when Marehans first priority was finding shelter for their families, but because he had not won the war and Hawiye saw its destruction and shepherded back to each other like lost lambs in the Mogadishu where they ate each other alive in their agony, you are forced to speak of a small luck the USC had attained in occupying Gedo. The war's turnout is visible for anyone today and Marehan today are the single most power-ful sub-clan in the history of Somalia, single-handedly managing the second largest city in Somalia and the largest piece of prime real estate ever valued by anyone in that part of the world while you support a foreign occupation of your own land because you could not even keep few districts. Where is Mudulood? I will answer this question and your position in the second part but I will speak on the Ayr part and Kismaayo.
While such a discussion is most fruitful with an Ayr attendance, I will explain in the hopes the feeble Mudulood brain will be forced to acknowledge when even today the Marehan are the only group whose name comes up when saying Kismaayo and why the Marehan singularly defeated and chased out the TFG forces led by Col Afgaduud and the Ogaden Col Koojaar, forces who were larger and better armed then Morgan's rag tag group of whom supposedly Marehan required assistance defeating.
It is a known fact that when Marehan captured Kismaayo and expulled Aydiid, they left the city to Gen Morgan who was until then a Marehan lackey and son-in-law of our most senior leadership, President Mohammed Siad Barre, and made way back to Gedo and their families. No Marehan gave a single thought to Kismaayo until all of a sudden the world heard our small number of ilmo adeero there were being badly treated by Gen Morgan. That is when Marehan decided to capture Kismaayo from Gen Morgan once and for all and because Gedo could not afford to send any soldiers there (that time being the most heaviest fighting in Gedo and even Ethiopia being involved), a Marehan army from Caabudwaaq was brought down with few Cayr guarding them through Hawiye lands. This act of goodwill was instrumental for the Cayr, because they later called upon our help in defeating Sacad and Ileyte in the Banana Wars in Lower Shabelle. Even ask Abdiwahab why the Cayr defeated the Sacad in Lower Shabelle and kicked our Hussein Aydiid's SNA forces. The capture of Kismaayo was in 1998, and the Jubba Valley Alliance was set up in 2001 when a symbolic son of Marehan, Abdiqasim Salad Hassan, became president and wanted to continue the long friendship and ties he had with his patrons of over 21 years. This was also necessary for his Cayr to survive since the alliance of warlords, particularly Mudulood and Sacad, were opposed to his TFG and it's small forces, the Cayr. This alliance was also beneficial for Marehan because it entrenched them once again back in Mogadishu and strengthened the economic positions they had built up in Kismaayo.
Then again what is a Mudulood to understand of this senior political posturing?
*Two (2.)*
With the defeat of Aydiid's forces where his forces were near obliterated, his chance of ruling Somalia were close to a quranic prophetic miracle, where he was injured and morally broken, and with the loss of nearly all his weaponry, the said man came back to the Mogadishu that had existed for centuries as primarily a Mudulood deegaan and declared he was the mayor Mogadishu if he could not be the president of Somalia. Mudulood coward in fear. In an attempt to bolster supported, they gathered a conglomerate of forces including the revengeful Murusade (who attained the nickname "beesha Kuwait" after their defeat at the hands of the Sacad), etc and decided in a miraculous show of forced bravery that they would once and for all expel Aydiid from Mogadishu. Aydiid attacked. The conglomerate of forces could do none but watch as Aydiid's forces took over all the districts of Mogadishu except for Kaaraan and Medina (the only two districts that have stayed out of Habar Gidir hands even today). This is the stalemate that Mudulood has watched with anger, fear, and revenge all these years. Aydiid's forces even expanded and tookover such areas as Afgooye (Mudulood Wacdaan).
Because of this reason, the Mudulood have chosen to be the willing donkeys to whom this occupation rests on and owes most gratitude to. What other clan has ALL of it's national leaders from their warlords to traditional leaders, intellectuals to religious leaders, have all been recorded as not only supporting the Ethiopian offensive in Mogadishu but have given material support to see about an Ethiopian victory over the Habar Gidir and expulsion from Mogadishu, a long-term objective of the hapless and largely weak Mudulood. You yourself, Twisted_Logic, have been recorded on this very forum as a prime supporter of the TFG/Ethiopians and have even been addressed countless times by others ranging from Ismahan to Gamadiid. Infact, only after you have been shown of your national position in politics with the firing of Gheedi, have you become somewhat modest in your support of the TFG. Now understanding that the aim of this topic was to show that majority of Mudulood are willing collaborators of the Ethiopian actions in Mogadishu, are you not yourself the prime example of all I have explained here and part of the representation of the Mudulood as the willing donkeys to whom this occupation owes its existence to?
