UAE paid for them

Post by AwRastaale »

The UAE was providing as much as $50m in military aid to Siad Barre on the late 1980s including paying for Rhodesian/South African mercenaries because Somali pilots didn't know how to fly the Hawker jets that UAE sold Somalia. Somali pilots at this stage only flew the MIG.

Hargeisa's severe damage was done by the Hawkers who were flying and refuelling from Hargeisa.

Sheegato,

The UAE sold Hawker planes to Afweyne's regime just like Romania's Ceausescu sold arms and ammunition to Afweyne's regime.

It was the United States that provided the largest military aid package to Afweyne's regime up until 1989 when Afweyne lost Somaliland to SNM.

If we apply your standard of logic, Somalilanders should blame the US instead of blaming the despot that indiscriminately bombed Isaaq civilians that he was obliged to protect under the Geneva convention.

The regime was allegedly fighting an armed movement so why bomb Isaaq civilians in residential areas after evacuating other Somalis?

Why didnt he evacuate them (Isaaq) as well?

A side note, when the bombardments began in late 1987 the SNM was not in Hargeisa district!

AwAmxaar can you share your justification for Afweyne's crimes?

AwAmxaar sheegato,

You're not making any sense.

Im still waiting for your justification of Afweyne's crimes against Isaaq.

In many previous threads/posts, you boasted about UAE's investments in SL, particularly Berbera's port. Why the sudden animosity towards the UAE?

Big deal the Saudis paid siad Barre or offered him $200 million in 1977 to quit the Soviets the idiot fell for it.
That's around $800 million in today's dollars I doubt he recieved all of that..
They also promised US support but Carter was a peacenik flower.
