Arawello somalia was dead before them. And if they destroyed Xamer its their own property it dont concern you or me for that matter.

Hutus only buried somalia after MSB & dooros killed it.
Dont blame on us ,but blame on msb who made unwise decision to conquer ogaden forgetting that kuffars will always unite against the muslims.
After that war,everyone knows how things went from paradise to hell.

Also blame it on him whenhe had the chance to step down peacefully but he didnt do that!

[Queen_Arawello]

Somalia was a nation, it was on world stage..it was the most developed african country politically, economically and militarily

[Queen_Arawello]

When will you hutus admit you guys focked up the country

[GENERAL_SNM]

When will you hutus admit you guys focked up the country

Arawello your by thread leave the hutu's alone. This thread was for healing old wounds and learning from the past not a witch-hunt.

[Queen_Arawello]

Ok General ur Irir brothers are save from my wrath


PS: Hutus need to be bought to international criminal court

Well the Ogadeen region is not a desert to be honest. Yes the War did bring Somalia to its knees, but it has large reserves of Natural Gas, and Ethiopia is as we speak making a pipeline to go through Somali lands and into Mogadishu. NFD though really is a desert. I think Ogaden should have been fought over more diplomatically and politcally.

Agree the land should not be left alone, but you choose your time and place. At the time Somalia had just united we should have solidified what we had and then maybe looked to increase our gains from a position of strength. Instead we went all broke to win that war and allah knows if things would be different had we won, but after we lost their was alot of negative energy which in the end destroyed Somalia. If we had a waited I thing Somalia would have been able to withstand a lose.In the end when we didn't just lose Somali Galbeed but we lost Somalia.

These kids really entertain me. It's like some old American right now talking about why Vietnam should not have happened. Clealy Vietnam should not have happened but it wasn't a single event attributable to Nixon or any one American president. It was a long process that that affected three American presidents and Administrations.

In the same way it was not for Siad to go for or not to go for the Ogaden War. From the time of colonialism, to liberation, to our flag...irredentist pan-Somalism was the wish of the Somali people. Siad was only a facilitator not the originator of the Ogaden, it wasn't not his choice to go in or out. He was simple facilitating when and when not to go in and a better opportunity could not have come then the overthrow of Haile Salassie when the Ethiopian state was engulfed into anarchy. Was he to know the whole soviet world would come and defend Ethiopia surprising even the Americans?

Really, these kids should do less talking and more learning.

No comparison here between America and Somalia. America was a country that had been independent for 400 years, it didn't just gain independent and then go straight to war with vietnam.

Thats your only point. He didn't know sh!t and he didn't listen to those that knew.
Somalia was an infant learning to walk it was in no position start a war which needed 3rd parties to succeed. If you cant fight by yourself its a big hint you shouldn't be fighting.
