Maddy: The U.S. government's meddling business did not start with Somalia's religious movements, so don't pull that card on me.
The U.S.C. & other opposition groups were funded by Washington, like with Nicarauga, Colombia, the Philipines, etc. the U.S. government armed rebel groups to overthrow Somalia's government in 1991. Back then Islamic movements were non-existent and the threat to Ethiopia was minimal since Bare's government signed peace accords with Mengistu in 1989. Which led to the exchange of prisoners between Somalia & Ethiopia.
