The fighting between Somalis that was situated in and around Mogadishu:
http://www.isn.ethz.ch/pubs/ph/details. ... n&id=20975By March 1992 Mogadishu had been nearly deserted, at least 300,000 people
had died of hunger and related diseases, and the direct death toll from the fighting
was around 44,000.
Had the international community not intervened the figures would have been higher.
The fighting between the Ethiopians and UIC/ Al Shabaab in the south:
http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset ... 008eng.pdfSome 6,000 civilians were reportedly killed in fighting in the capital Mogadishu and across southern and central Somalia in 2007/08 and over 600,000 Somali civilians were internally displaced from and around Mogadishu.
Had the UIC/ Al Shabaab not used residential areas to do their dirty work the figures would have been lesser.
We are our own worst enemy and soon Ethiopia will go as it came, then what? Another 44,000 or 300,000 wasted souls because of our stupidity.
I use to think Caydiid Jr. was insane for suggesting that Somalia be margin with Ethiopia not anymore though, the guy was sane aright. Somalia is Zoo and we need Zoo keepers and not a day goes by where I don't thank Ethiopia for being that willing Zoo keeper.
