It is truly disrespectful that the new regime in Somalia, and the new President Farmaajo(cheese) called this 'people dying by crossfire' when it was truly a genocide towards Isaaq people masked as a fight against rebellion. If that was the case, how come this did not happen to other Somali cities, on such scale, who were also rebelling? Siad barre was truly a dictator, one of the worst men the world has ever seen.

#NEVER_FORGET The city of Hargeisa was virtually destroyed during intense and pitiless bombardment. Many thousands of people were killed or driven into exile. Barre's soldiers, meanwhile, tortured and murdered as many as 50,000 others - most of them civilians - and buried their bodies in mass graves. Now, as those who still live in this region try to secure their future, some feel those past agonies should be re-examined and those responsible held to account.

[@abdulahimoabdulahimo3551]

But Somaliland has its dark side. Within living memory its citizens fell victim to the most savage of state-sponsored atrocities. General Siad Barre - the ruthless dictator who ruled Somalia from 1969 to 1991 - went to war with the clans who inhabited the area. Believing them to be supporting a rebellion against his regime, he took revenge by sending in his army with a mandate to "kill all but the crows".

[@abdulahimoabdulahimo3551]

+Abdulahimo Abdulahimo Somalis born after the civil war can find themselves feeling this trauma handed down from one generation to another, without being able to fully grasp its cause.

Countries that learn form their past and move on are the countries that put their history into prospective, they forgive and let go of any grudges, but they never forget because those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. You can't erase History. Actually the only thing that will come out from all these demands to forget history is that you alienate Somalilanders who don't have the luxury to forget what happened to them.
