I think he was led down by his own people , he makes good sense compare to
most somali politicians , he was right about northerners they were treated bad
and they didn't want to separate rest of the country but south was just chaos
and merciless towards the north .
My question is caydiid was seen as warlord but not general ,but after listening
this interview he sounds someone who wanted to be good leader if it wasn't for
his own people that killed him, why he ended up as looser but not as a icon ?
caydiid only cared about habar gidir he did not give shit about the rest of hawiye. caydiid back stabbed his allies when he had no more use for them. caydiid came at a time when most somalis hated siyad berra and marehans even the fellow daroods hated marehan so he allied himself with majerteen, ogadeen, isaq, hawiye and rahweeyn. now when siyad barre was overthrown most poeple were ready to accept him but he shot himself in the foot by first killing innocent marehan children and women. after he slaughtered the marehans in mogadishu started the flee and while they were fleeing his allies the rahaweyn started to kill and rape women and children. now here comes to intresting part how did caydiid repay his ally the rahaweyn? he refused to allow the UN to go to baidabo when innocent rahaweyn women and children were starving to death. he also tried to invade gaalkacyo. and he went to war with his ally ali mahdi. caydiid would have slaughtered isaqs if he had the chance.
Stop rewriting history. Caydiid saved the Hawiye twice from Siyaad barre, and then they repaid him by backing that faasiq Cali Mahdi as president. It wasn't caydiid who turned on Hawiye intiially, it was the rest of them.
My grandpa told his sons, not to ever lead Somalis since no one listens to Somali leaders, and they are forced to die with humiliation or hit back their own fellows. It has to be studied the reason behind why we never go along with Somali leaders, and why they sometimes trust foreign agents instead the community.
Some thing is wrong, and has to be fixed!
