Sixties 'Musuqmaasuq' vs Seventies 'Kacaan'

[Cilmiile]

Our Sade brothers posed a question that the seventies were better. Warsame presented a long essay about the accomplishments of the Kacaan.

They demanded one thing that the sixties were better than the kacaan.

This is an extract from Gedonet article about Jinniboqor by an elder Somali who must have been an observer of the political scene in the early sixties when Jinniboqor and his fellow young firebrands were venting against the government of the Day:

La yaab, ma lihi oo duqa Jjinni-boqor ayaa ahaan jiray xubin xisbbigii SDU (Greed), oo mucaaradka ahaa, maqaalkiisa ayaana ii sawiray jawigii 60meeyadii, oo madaxda sare ee qaranka si toos ah mikrafoonka (microphone-ka) xisbbiga Gareedka dhalliil adag looga soo jeedin jiray; “Aadan-caddaa dalkii gatay…Madaxwaynihii, wuxuu u galay Faatikaanka (Vatican)…Cabdi-abaar, mashruucii faanoole ayuu xaday…Dawladda-cawaro: saas iyo saasay yeeshay, tan iyo teer bay bi’isay”. Waxaa oo miiran inta la tiriyo ayaa nabad qab guryaha loogu dheelman jiray, iyada oo aan cidnna xabbsiga loo taxaabin. Mararka qaar, madaxda ayaaba, intaa gawaaridooda dhigato meel xarunta xisbbiga u dhaw khudbadaha gaariga dhexdiisa kala socon jirtay!


Case Closed. Sixties win over the Kacaan.


Unless the Sade are going to present arguments to the contrary.

The revolution of Siyaad can boast of some great achievements, specially in its earliest years. But it was a tyrannical government that cracked on inviduals freedoms and liberty. From the Somali passage in the opening post, written by a Mareexaan man, we can see that Somalis enjoyed absolute and unabridged freedom of consciencse.

Is it possible that the current hatred, masscres, genocide, secession, warlordism has its roots in the repressive policies of the Kacaan?

It is quite clear to me that the sixties were superior to the kacaan because of the freedoms that people enjoyed during the democratic period.

The downside of the sixties is the rampant corruption that was rooted out by the kacaan in its early incarnation. But by the late seventies, the kacaan stalled and became as corrupt as the Musuqmasuq period.

The sixties and seventies

Why not just divide this period into: civilian government with pseudo democracy vs military junta with pseudo scientific socialism.

''Case Closed. Sixties win over the Kacaan. ''

You are no different then Warsame, so you quote an old man who was an observer and then say case closed

I will show in the other topic how a decent comparision is conducted between the different periods in Somali history.
