I've been really curious lately. I think you Somalinetters are really brilliant and well informed. I am a Somali. I love my people. I want to know their past history, more specifically their recent, let's say...20 years ago. lol
I've seen picture of Hotel Aruba. It is rapped by bullets. Holes after holes of bullets and mortars. I wondered, why would anyone shot up a HOTEL? I mean, it is not a ARMY base. It is not a governmental residence, and most definitely, bullets just don't come to buildings, unless people shot at it deliberately.
So, many places in Mogadishu is virtually horrible. The buildings are virtually gone. I mean, can anyone give us a summary of what really happened in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003... [ 2004 -2010 I already know ]

It would be great, if anyone can give us details of who fought, who controlled what areas in this timelines, how did the infrastructure end up the way it is, and so forth.
By the way: In 1991, were most of the buildings in rubble TODAY, became like that within the first months of the CIVIL WAR?
