Who was the most hated clan of Siad Barre? Even before he overthrew the Somali government led by *** president, he was filled with enmity of the Puntland clan and he hated them so much that he made sure no military officer took senior position in the Somali military. Do you also know the low level officers who tried to overthrow him in 1978 were mostly from that clan? Do you also know that the first rebel group SSDF were from same tribe as him? Do you know anything about Mudug and Nugal uprising and what happened to the Somali people in those regions? You seemed to have been fed with one sided story. Go out of your comfort zone and talk to different people from different tribes than yours so might get balanced view of the Somali hostory.

What’s all the fuzz about, have you even read the document? First of all it’s a communique not an agreement. Second it says nothing else that Kenya and Somalia are intending to discuss a number of subject such as Diplomatic Relations, Livestock, Security, Defense, Education, Agriculture, Blue Economy, etc. And lastly Blue Economy is a container term that also covers Fisheries, Tourism, Maritime logistics, Shipping, Marine Biodiversity, doesn’t mean necessarily Natural resources. The real significant issue that one seems to be ignoring here is that both countries will send back their Ambassadors agains and open their Embassies. And this seems to be a politically mature and sensible thing to do between two neighboring countries.

Many people from those clans did stand up, please do look up about people like aun, Garaad Abdiqani who spoke up against Siyad Barre, Ali Khaliif Galeydh a senior Minister opposing the regime and becoming the most senior political exile, Dr.Mohamed Aden Sheick Health Minister and Parliamentarian convicted for treason and spending years in prison, and who then build the Hargeisa Children’s Hospital that has been named after him. Aden Abdullahi Gabyow former Defence Minister who was jailed and later on led the SPM. And many many others who were Senior Politicians, Military leaders, Artist, Academics, etc opposed him from wll Somali clans. But you need to keep in mind that Somalia was under a military dictatorship in which power was concentrated in the hands of one man, and you will find in each clan people that cheered for him and supported him, and those that opposed him. Somali’s are not bad people, neither are there bad clans but try to look for more facts, listen to different people and what they have witnessed, only then you get a full picture of what happened.
