Gen.Galaal hasn't participated in this war.
He was both against the courts and Tigre's intervention, and besides the courts haven't adviced him and other senior Hawiyes when the war started, they ignored them till heat went up yesterday.
Now he and others are commissioned back in action.
Galaal is a smart Hawiye man, he played the lionshare in toppling Siad Barre's regime and when Gen. Aideed escalated his little feud with Ali Mahdi into a full-scale inter-Hawiye war he wisely condemned Aideeds actions and did not side with the agressors who happened to be his clan but with Ali Mahdi....this in a time that clan was everything.
anno 2006, Aweys has many times tried to persuade Galaal to join their movement. He simply rejected it and said that the wise thing to do was first to direct energy at the development of your own region, in this case Guriceel and Dhusomareeb, before even thinking of other man's regions.
Gen.Galaal is a wise man.
