It was Barre giving Seeraar and Goobaale the middle-finger when they requested that a Cayr should be given the vice-president post for Jubbaland. Barre told them that not a single Habar Gidir would be included in the administration.[/quote]
I would say it was a combination of both. He had to make a choice between Indacadde, Daahri Aweis (Cayr) led Somali ICU or AY, Mooryan led TFG. Obviously, and correctly Barre didn't go with either option, and fortunately everything ended up better for Beesha in the long run. [/quote]
Nah sxb, it was not a combination of both. Barre wasn't at that time sworn in as Defense minister, the reason (and I have heard this from his mouth) why the clan-alliance attacked was because he told them that Cayr would have no say in Jubbaland once it is established. This made them assemble a multi-clan force with the inclusion of Oromos and Eritreans foreigners.
[quote]I did hear that story many times though. Cayr were pissed they wern't going to get anything. Also could you tell me who was going to be given key positions after Barre and Abdirashid Xiddig?[/quote]
Actually, Barre wanted to create Jubbaland and hand over the administration to reer Jubbaland and let them come up with someone to fill both the presidency and vice-presideny's seats. His main aim was just to implement the state.
