There was an interesting theory that this old man was sharing about why Somalia collapsed.
The Bililiqo Theory of Destruction:
Where ever Bililiqo is taken, it brings chaos to those who end up with it.
During the 1977-78 war, the retreating Somali Army looted the cities of Dir Dawa, Harar, Jijiga and other cities on their way back to Somalia. The first stop for all the bililiqo was Hargeisa. Years later, Hargeisa was destroyed.
During the 1986-1991 war against the Issaq, the Somali Army & its functionaries took bililiqo from Hargeisa to Xamar. Years later, Xamar was destroyed.
During this current war in Xamar, the TFG militia & its functionaries are looting rer Muqdisho's properties and taking it to their home villages. Its just a matter of time before those places get destroyed too.
