Just for the record, there were many demonstrations in Somalia and sadly all ended up in massacres. The last one was that of June, 1989. Scores of innocent protesters were murdered in that peaceful demonstration as Koofiyad Gaduud regime loyalists mercilessly gunned down anything that moves.

 

The regime down-played the numbers and claimed only 23 people have died in the official news release.

 

1989: Somalia Says 23 Die in Clashes

 

Somali police increased to 23 the death toll from clashes between security forces and religious demonstrators in Somalia's capital Friday, and residents said that gunfire could still be heard today. Police said 59 persons were wounded in Friday's clashes in Mogadishu when security forces opened fire on what the government termed "troublemakers hiding behind the banner of religion." The government earlier said 10 persons were killed Friday. Residents, contacted by telephone, said shots were heard periodically around the capital today but that the shooting lacked the intensity of Friday's clashes. They said the city was otherwise calm

There were numerous attempts by the citizens to "peacefully" protest in other parts of the country and nothing but death and destruction came out of it. The famous Jaziira Massacre on which 59 peaceful demonstrators were picked up from their homes in the middle of the night, taken to Jaziira beach and shot dead one by one, serves as another reminder of the brutality citizens faced if they tried to exercise their rights.

A brutal dictator oppresses his own people made up of many different clans

- People rise up against the dictator "by any means necessary"

- Dictator refuses to give up power and vows to "die here"

- Dictator's clan and loyalists rally behind him fearing for their own existence

- Government system slowly breaks down in the process

- Dictator is eventually chased out of the capital after much death and destruction

- Vicious power struggle breaks out among the clans vying for the top price

- Dictator eventually destroys country for not giving up power peacefully and earlier.

 

The first i highlighted did not happen in chronogical order, Siad Barre at the time did not oppress his people sxb.

Secondly people did not rise up until 1988 or in Mogadishu 1991, long after the rebels caused harm to the nation.

I may have been an unfair critic in the past at Siad Barre, but history shows that Barre did all he could to suppress the clanish tendencies that existed back then, this is not to say that he didnt create mistakes in the process.

The 59 were not even demonstrating. They were picked up from their homes in the middle of the night, some wearing nothing but the macawis they went to bed with.

 

Anyways, here is some interesting comparisons.

 

* Libya like Somalia (Southern Somalia) was an Italian colony.

* Col. Qaddafii like Siyad Barre was a soldier trained under the Italian colonial power.

* Like Somalia, Libya is also a very clan divided society.

* Like Siyad Barre, Col. Qaddafi used the Libyan Airforce to bombard and level Libyan Cities.

When Gadafi sent planes to bomb Benghazi is when I thought of Afweyne and his tactics.
