Caburiye, Cirro was a colonel in the police unit and not in the army, you do the math. Somalidu wax kasta bey iska sheegaan
Abdalla:
people are trying rewrite the history of that war which is still fresh in our memory, One said the southern division took Jigjiga that is not correct, first of all there was no such thing called southern division but 60 division based in Baydhabo and they fought in Sidamo and Bale. Colonel Abdullaha yusuf ex pres was commanding that flank of the war., he did not gain many ground but advanced as far as Filtu to outskirt of Neggele.
Div 26 based in Hargeysa and 21 at Dhusamareb fought western front and Ciro did not stayin behind in Mog as said but he was in charge all supply and logistics of western fronts
my uncle who was AY driver told me his commanding officer Col Abdullahi Yusuf Yeey was very colculated and fearless leader and when the Somali army withdrew from liberated areas Abdullahi left behind no equipments or men.
You asked the reason behind killing those brave soldiers, it is very clear some high ranking commander wanted to demoralize Somali fighters after they discovered their bravest and brightest warriors were shot to dead by their own army. SNA desolved into disarray and there was born Somali curse of internal conflict.
