Abdirahman Tuur? SNM?

[JolieFille]

I want to get more knowledge about the former SNM chairman Abdirahman Tuur ( aun), My current knowledge is that he was some kind of government official in the 1960s, what was so terrible that he created a armed rebel group to destroy his own government in 1980? I know that he hated Siyad Barre already in the 1970s why? why did Tuur commit high treason by getting armed by Etiophia and then attack the somali national army? was political power more important than Somalia? was his dream a indepedent Issaq nation? why did he then Join Aiidees government in 1995? was it all about power? was Tuurs dream that Issaq children will hold the somaliland flag in 2011 and say we are not somalis? what was his goal? just power?

I dont want a childish Qabil debate, only people with deep knowledge about SNM or haveing good answers to my questions should comment.

"Born in 1931, Tuur had been a diplomat and government official.
He later became the Chairman of the Somali National Movement (SNM), a guerilla force drawn from the Isaaq clan that was attempting to topple the military administration of former President of Somalia Siad Barre. Although the SNM at its inception had a unionist constitution, it eventually began to pursue a separatist agenda, looking to secede from the rest of Somalia. Under Tuur's leadership, the local administration declared the northwestern Somali territories independent on 18 May 1991. He then became the newly-established Somaliland polity’s first President, but subsequently renounced the separatist platform in 1994 and began instead to publicly seek and advocate reconciliation with the rest of Somalia under a power-sharing federal system of governance.[2] Tuur also lent some support to the UNOSOM peace-building mission in the southern regions, which alienated him from Somaliland's succeeding government as well as many former followers.[3]
When support for Tuur in southern Somalia failed to materialise, he was exiled to Ethiopia for almost a decade, before returning to Somaliland on 10 February 2003, 9 months before his death on 8 November 2003."

Tuur (AUN) was a good Mujahid who only made one mistake: compromising with Jebertis We waited for him in Garowe to subjugate and end the Jeberti menace for good.

How Ironic that the jebertis invaded Mogadishu in 2006, your destiny is to be ruled by Jerbertis
