Even if the non-Darood thinking world agreed with you, how would that change anything? When people speak from clan perspectives they're not obliged to accept anything the opposition proposes. You're pushing forward the same tired argument which is something bad is better than nothing but similarly it can be argued that nothing is better than something bad. Why don't you praise Aidiid for ridding Somalia of the regime before asking others to praise the regime for the small amount of good it did achieve?
I don't see how somebody could argue that a bad government is better than no government. North Korea, arguably the worst state in the world in terms of repression, is better off than Somalia.
Aidiid was created by Siad Barre and the same government you want us think was better than the aftermath. People are pushed to do the things they do, they don't spontaneously carry something out. If the Siad Barre regime was "not that bad" or "flawed" then people like Aidiid wouldn't exist.
I'm of the opinion that Aideed was simply mad. No other rebel movement in the entirety of human civilization managed to fuck up so badly.
Injecting clan into this is quite pointless too because one of the main reasons the USC failed was because of the Mahdi and Aidiid disagreement. Talking about the "Hawiye promised land" or what not is again pointless when it wasn't about that, if it was then that disagreement would not have occurred because they would have had the same ambitions.
So whose fault is that? Aideed's first act was to bizarelly attack his own allies instead of consolidating power like any semi-rational successful rebel. Within a matter of weeks after his victory against the horrid government, he attacked his SSDF Majerteen allies, his SPM Ogaden allies, the Abgaal,the Murusade, the Xawadle, other Habar Gidirs, and probably would have attacked the Isaaq eventually. The man was clearly a lunatic.
The thing is if the USC had created a government in which the Hawiye dominated then you would not have supported it and rightly so, you would have preferred there to be no government and anarchy instead but that did happen so maybe your interests are misplaced and not well calculated.
Most Marehans would have begrudgingly accepted a Hawiye dominated government instead of two decades of anarchy, simply because as the losing and deeply unpopular party, we would have been left no choice. All of Somalia turned against Marehan and gleefully witnessed the overthrow of MSB and the so called MOD regime. Aideed's failure to consolidate power and restrain himself against reprisal attacks led to his clinching of defeat from the jaws of complete victory.
