I don't take this man's testimony seriously bc it sounds more character assassination than..
What i conclude from his account is that ethiopia was worry of irir coalition against her/yeey and it's not coincidence that kahin has annexed laascaanod when all these harti folks joined yeey in xamar!....dhuloos rebellion against PL have appeared after the departure of yeey, before that they were part of it and his war in xamar
Ethiopia knows the somali clan wars....
For example he didn't mention yeey moving back all the way to baydhabo the day before the coup. Cirro was more power hungery than yeey and he sounds highly smart guy like the report he made in jigjiga against 80 officers whom he was doubting about their locality to him, the regime has killed them mistakenly bc of his report!
He then started blaming the regime on this to attract more angery officers for his own mission!
Gen gaani who was the commander in waqooyi have heard about his inqilab so he fled to xamar to tell barre about cirros inqilaab, cirro was called to xamar and since then he had no position in the army there was investigations going on and this is the time barre gives yeey a surprise visit
While the investigations were still going on, cirro has arranged a second coup in xamar via his loyalisties in the army (around 20 something officers in wich 18 of them were mj!)
He and yeey had disagreement on how to execute the coup...yeey told him to wait from him and that it should be the army day otherwise their activities will be seen as suspicious and cirro was afraid of getting exposed
Yeey plan was to attack mogadishu from baydhabo and meet him at carbiska/lafoole....ironically carbiska was one of the bases captured by cirro loyalists before barre was able to get gurmad from halane then he fled towards baydhabo where yeey reached so far but he was captured on the way...this is when yeey flees to Kenya via gedo
This man did not mention all this and makes it sound like he was in dolow lol
Ethiopia cannot invade somalia without the US govt backing
This lady has supported the ethiopian invasion and she was the one who called yeey to resign not ethiopia!!
Their last meeting wich she called him to resign

HG jihadists like dahir aways and indhacadde have committed huge mistake by trying to invade baydhabo bc this means for the west there wont be no legitimate authority in somalia so they have to defend the TFGs capital
When yeey was based in baydhabo he had no actual power on the tfg, there were talks in khartoum and he was against it, speaker sharif hassan was visitng xamar(Islamic courts) for forming a unity govt where hawiye would pick their own pm and he represents D&M, thus, making yeey powerless president until the elections
All this was rejected by hassan dahir!
Even the UNSC was supporting it

I would like to add important factor in the rise of al shabaab....our hiiraan politicians like omar hashi and laqanyo were against deploying amisom out of the state house and the airport....during the djibouti talks, ethiopia has contacted with col omar hashi and he said to them I will not sit with you until you get out of hiiraan and theydid it on November 2008 while they were still in xamar and baydhabo (left in january 2009)
The reason was bc there was no political vocuum in hiiraan as hashi was leading the resistance by himself....for a year there was a pro-TFG admin in baledweyne without amisom or ethiopia
Why xamar politicians did not control it after ethiopia left it? Why you did not control jowhar? Bc like arabs say al macida daar al daa...every illness comes from the stomach...xamars amisom project have destroyed the rest. it could have been avoided had there been influencial politicians like omar hashi
Ironically, in xamar yeey was fully controlling the TFG with ethiopias brutal support, he targeted HG mostly (20,000 killed) all these HG who own now business in the UAE moved from bakaaraha at that time...those now in lafoole aka ceelasha biyaha
When hiraab was used against eachother (defence minister salaad ali jeele and pm geedi)hawadle politicians in the TFG acted hard against yeey and called for international pressure against him as ethiopia was letting him continue his clan revenge....laqanyo as the AU ambassador and sanbalolshe as then the UN walad abdallahs adviser who convinced him to enter the talks and that there is no terrorism but a targeted clan!
Dugaag waaye hiraab asxaan ma qabaan hada kadib ee nootahay!
Laqanyo account of yeey and ethiopia

The guy who translates is sanbalolshe, he agreed with omar to pick him for hawadle but bc of omar hashi, sharifs partner he couldnt until his assassination where he replaced him as the security minister
