SonofaNomad,
Bro. General Morgan WAS related to the President. In fact he was Siad Barre's son-in-law. Yes, there were a few privileged Somalis from different clans who benefited off the Dictatorship, but the majority of us were left behind. The majority of us were unhappy and had no opportunity.
The entire civil war could have been avoided had it not been for Siad's poor leadership and failure to tackle nepotism and corruption.
niyow all this is in the 80s
Since 1969 the country was ruled by a revolutionary military council known as golaha sare ee tawrada
Before the coup, siyad barre was the chief staff of the army since the mid-60s-he was the deputy of general daud who died at that time-
The idea of the revolution has come first from other officers in the army who had relations with the kgp bc they were well known under adan cadde
Siyad barre, maybe he was thinking of his own inqilab but how the coup was managed has to do with the adea of this group
According to the voas interview with these officers, it was osman jeele who was coordinating between them and siyad barre
in the first three years there was struggle between salad gabeyre the defense minister who was carrying the title the father of revolution and siyad barre the head of the revolutionary council
The soviet just like they did in ethiopia was supporting to settle the issue from within quickly
Salad gabeyre has made mistakes bc without the knowledge of the council he agreed with others to come up with his own coup
He lost some officers including jeele
Gabeyre was against barre for chosen ali samatar on him unlike of what was agreed before the coup
So since 1973 theres was a unity of leadership but the decisions were directly taking by the council until 77
At this time there was a secret pro-american group like dafle who were calling for cooperation with the us govt without known america Itself!
This group are behind the 77 war
Then in the 80s, gabyow and morgan have joined them,
All of them belong to one clan and the role of the council has become an artificial
At this time, a group of officers like jeele and cumar massale-hes marehan-and some civilian officers like omar carte have met secretly and talked about how to correct and save the revolution from within without a coup, it was all about to pressure on siyad barre by holding a meeting with him
instead of listenin, as a dictator, he sent them all to prison
Jeele was released some years after for two factors; huge demonstrations that was taking place in hiiraan(its called jeele ama jidka- and a request from amir salman bin cabdil caziiz the saudi interior..was given a rasidence in jidah
His daughter is now becoming a pilot at a malaysian uni
He has never involved in qabil issues or partaked any political activities since he left the country
Anything after that was disastrous; his car accident, koofiyo cas iyo civil war.
This is jeele
