Otali
Why do I get a distinct feeling that I offended you somehow? Name calling will not change history my dear Otali and the facts demonstrate that Hawiyes failed miserably to manage their bit of the country as well as the other "big two" mainstreamers did. Not only that the Hawiyes spread the havoc they created in Mogadishu to areas inhabited by peaceful, sedentry, unorganised Somalis like teh Digil, Mirif, Barawanis, bimals, Tunnis, Garres, Jiidows, Xabshs and others.
But the thing history will never forgive the Qumbe-smelling bstrads of hawiye is their wholesale destruction of the nation's capital. The Somali did not dsetry Mog because 90% of it was 1000 Km away in Hargeisa. the Somali airforce did not destroy Mog because 100% of it was busy destroying Hargeisa and Burao. The Somali navy had tow boats in operation and both were moored in Berbera. They did not NEED to fight at all. Siyad Barre had few hundred well trained and committed bodyguards and about tow thousand armed Darods in Mog in 1991. Anyone who was ever involved in the Somali politics knew these facts.
The Darods fought courageously but they knew it was the end and they concenterated on saving their leader. Thy did this and left Mogadishu almost intact. Like all third world capitals Mogadishu housed almost all of the nations' wealth in terms of buildings, infrastructures and services. It had the biggest sea and airport, teh biggest bank and all teh government ministries.
They DESTROYED mogadishu single handedly. That is a crime they will always be guilty of.
And lastly, no Mogadshu which was once by far the wealthiest place in teh country is today only the third wealthies after Hargeisa and Borame. And of course it remains teh most dangerous place in Somalia. all down to hawiye.
And Otali i noticed you did not answer the question about Hawiyes lack of conflict resolution techniques. Why can't you nut-eating, gun-toting babboons sit down together inside the country, talk like we and the Dhabayaco did, come up with some kind of constitution as roadmap, clean the rubble and give your citizens a semblance of peace and normality? Why is this beyond you?
