Clan Cleansing in Somalia: A Book Review --Must Read for President Hassan

Recommended Posts

Lidwien Kapteijns’ book is an important addition to Somali studies. She uses popular poems, radio broadcasts, and extensive oral interviews to analyze the genesis, fomenting, and perpetuation of hate speech, and the employment of code words. The book is at its strongest when Kapteijns delves into the use of poetry and oral recordings to explain the violence that had engulfed Somalia in early 1990s. This is a-must-read book for every Somali who wants to know what happened in 1991. It is especially important for Somali leaders who want to bring a lasting change to Somalia because the process of uncovering the truth and dealing with it is only the beginning of the healing process.

I realize it is a bit slippery to consider when making policies the civil war experiences and still move the country forward. The risk is rekindling painful memories that breed mistrust among the very society one wants to lead. Yet there is no practical way to avoid what took place without seeming insensitive leader who at best dismisses the collective raw feelings of an entire segments (segment here primarily means an age group) of Somali society. But there is a middle way. President Hassan needs to find one such middle course

well she excluded a lot of facts, such as the -block and clan genocide in the Jubbas, the focus on the book was .block cleansing well there where much worse cleansings in somalia such as the man made famine in Baay Caused by Morgan and Co,, the cleansing from south of somalia was much worse, a lot of -block got killed and a lot of -block got killed period, But the real victims of this conflict was reer Bay and Bakool and the minorities.

^^That is the USC narrative , oba :D

 

Morgan causing famine in the south is revisionist history , goes against facts as they were recorded. block killing block in 1991 is a poor come back on Oba's part :D

 

Waryaa , si in lagu cafiyey ma ogid maxaa ku dhibaya ?

xiin this kid was two or three when this history took place. Wuxuu kuu sheegayo waa from the mouth of Keydmedia.

 

It seems interesting enough book that it indulges into the nuts and bots of the wounds of Somali civil war, which most Somalis avoid by saying waa la is-laayey ee ha laga gudbo. If we're going to build a country by wax walba ha laga gudbo, history may just repeat itself.

 

Where do I find this book?

USC narrative kuye. runta miyaa diidi

 

We have heard Morgan on tape admitting it marka taa dhexi gali mahayo.

 

cafid? sxb anagu dee dhaqankiinu ma lihin oo we could've easily barked xasuuuq in xamar during the ethiopians which we all know what happened ku sii dar the Al shabaab invasion on xamar every single part of xamar except the Villa somalia area and Madiina was empty laakin the difference is we don't victimize ourself.

^^that is the question, why would you keep my house and farm when you, just like me, are perfectly capable of creating a halaal wealth. Oh it was not about the taking wealth , it was more about punishing me , inflicting a pain on me, Oba. I know that you know the kitchen table stories ...

 

So read the book, waan ku cafiyey hadda, iisoo celi xoolayahygii hana inkirn, no buts or howevers :D
