Well I don’t think it was the fighting back that helped rather the leaders that were willing to accommodate. If fighting back was the key solution, Somalia would have been peaceful since the fighting back began in 90’s. And things would have been peaceful from Guriceel, to Beletweyn and Barawe. Apparently any idiot can fire AK47’s from rooftops, but clearly not every leader is willing to accommodate grievances from various communities and come to acceptable terms of concensus consensus. Coming back to my earlier point, one could learn one or two things from this.
