- Late dictator Siyad Bare was nationalistic but his strategy was expansion of his particular clan to the Hawiye territory. For example in 1970 Somali regions were only eight regions settling among various clans as follows:-

Hawiye clan                                3.6 regions for the overall Somalia

Darod clan                                  1.9  “           “             “         “

Isaq clan                                    1.72 “          “             “         “

Rahanweyn Digle &Mirifle               0.78 “          “             “      “


 



The end of Siyad Bar regime Country has 18 regions divided among clans as follows:-



Hawiye                                                7.    Regions overall of Somalia



Darod                                                  5.5        “             “            “       



Isaq                                                    3.7        “             “            “



Rahanweyn Digil & Mirifle                         1.8        “             “            “


Late dictator Siyad Bare in his tenure he put Hawiye clan maximum pressure for killing, jailing and deporting intellectuals and high educators, then he brought drug users and low judgment individuals to the corridor pointing to the interest of his clan, then he restructured Somali map by indicating Hawiye is a minority, but that was far from fact. Hawie was estimated 70% overall of Somali population, 80% economical zone, and 60% of business people. That stage ended Siyad Bare and his supporters’ disrupted Hawiye status claiming Hawiye can not govern themselves, minority and unwise people.

Mr. Abdulahi Yusuf took his turn and submitted his plan to the Ethiopian government indicating Hawiye has prosperity land and greatest potential power and can not get Somalia unless defeated. Therefore in order to defeat to divide influence and arming low grade persons. To practice that theory, Ethiopia selected ten inferior warlords to the Hawiye clan promising each one of them will be a president of Somalia, they can not get common accord and objective, this is caused by anarchy of passed 15years.

In 1990 civilian revolts was broken out in Somalia which revoked by pressure of Siyad Bare military dictator’ regime. The aim of that revolt was to replace Siyad Bare and reestablish better government, but Ethiopia who was supplying arm and ammunitions to the repels had implied opposition of reborn of Somali government. That revolts were participated by repels of SSDF fight in part of central regions and north east of Somalia based on Majeerteenia clan, SNM fight in north west of Somalia based on Isaq clan, and USC fight in main part of central and southern Somalia included Mogadishu the capital city of Somalia based on Hawiye clan.

USC took Mogadishu after ousting Siyad Bare but unfortunately was not unique. It was divided into two factions backed by out side influence. One part was backed by Ethiopia which represents USA and other part was backed by Italy which represents EU and some of Darod politicians. Each alliance has its own particular interest and wants international community will support Somalia through them , but Ethiopia is different from that. Ethiopia was not willing to see reestablishment of Somali government.

USC in Mogadishu hastened to proclaim shape of government little after Siyad Bare was expelled covering by administrational vacuum but other faction backing by Ethiopia rejected that move.

In 1991, first reconciliation meeting was held in Djibouti Ali Mahdi Mohamed was nominated as interim president, this move was backed by Italy who represents for the Somalia EU and some of Darod politicians but other USC faction backing Ethiopia rejected again that move, fighting was erupted between two factions which resulted heavy lose and casualties. After the end of that war ten warlords emerged from Mogadishu. Ethiopian government had exploited from that governmental vacuum to interfere Somalia by influencing and instructing warlords not to have concession among them or any other person by continuing violence.

Another round of meeting was held in Djibouti 2001, Abdiqasim Salad Hassan was nominated president of Somalia in next three years but Ethiopia rejected directly and had started military invasion in the adjacent regions like Bakol and Gedo smuggling weapons and accumulating intelligence to the Mogadishu and other cities like Jowhar, Baidao. Ethiopia used its objectives by warlords supplying weapons and ammunitions and giving them instructions to hunt sheikhs and intellectuals carrying out assassinations and abductions.

Another round of meeting was prepared in Kenya organized by Ethiopia and US, these two have accord with the Somali affairs, this time they could exploited government vacuum and political stalemate among leaders, so that they can easily manipulated cultural and political bodies by creating way ahead for new forthcoming institution, in order to reach that sense Ethiopia had became secretary of the meeting by administering indirectly. This is first step to manipulate delegations, second step Ethiopia gives privilege to the warlords for selecting traditional and politicians’ and small quantity of Diaspora for participation of the meeting.

Third step Ethiopia instructed to allegiance warlords to nominate Abdulahi Yusuf as a president of Somalia, and then he would appoint them his cabinet. When this process was ended Abdulahi Yusuf had urged Ethiopia twenty thousand troops’ escorts for repatriation. Ethiopia had got her long waited opportunity of capturing Somalia, since her military had stamp to invade Somalia.

This move he later presented to the parliament, but they divided into two rival groups, one group is against this move and other group is allegiance to the move.

Ethiopia had taken the responsibility of the meeting lonely apart from international community, while faction leaders had taken the responsibility for selecting delegations.

When Mogadishu people realized the trend of the meeting they decided to manage their security and development, then community discussion had started in the villages. Those discussions produced security solution by establishing courts and army guards. So that US and Ethiopia had raised suspicion about the structure of that administration and quoted terrorists had emerged which are not willing for peace and stability to Somalia.

US and Ethiopia had challenged this initiation collaborating how to impair Mogadishu new security progress.

US had given contract to the Mogadishu warlords for eradicating new establishment, but it was not work because community had understood that tricks.

Then new establishment and community had chased the warlords. Therefore, warlords evacuated into Ethiopia in order to rearrange themselves, but instead of that US and Ethiopia had decided to engage open war against Somalia attacking community and its administration. This war resulted Ethiopian occupation and Somali insurgency.

Ethiopia had taken Somalia, Abdulahi Yusuf thought he captured Hawiye clan, Reality is Somalia under occupation.

We are very regret the silence of international community about the occupation and human rights violations exercising by Ethiopian troops. . Is it possible to make judge US government who is fighting Ethiopian side against Somali victims?
