burahadeer Posted December 27, 2011 It was blessing in disguise...it forced the dormant SNM to all of a sudden start a suicidal attack on Burao which they captured & Hargeisa after 4 days & within 2yrs it was all ova.It was the best thing that could have happened.A classic case of turning the tables on someone intent in destroying you. SWEET REVENGE..... He crawled into the feet of his worst enemy "Mengistu" out of desperation.He could'v left peacefully & save his skin & his country. **Mengistu fired his military commander in the area when he found out SNM captured Burao & was fighting inside the country,cos he thought they were weak & blamed that on his military commanders/intelligence.Later he admitted he wouldn't have signed that peace treaty with Siyaad if he knew SNM was capable on imposing such destructive power on somali forces.** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
