Somaliland: Kill All but the Crows (Part I) | People & Power

- To much of the world, Somalia has a fearsome reputation. It is seen as one of the most dangerous places on the planet - a failed state that is widely believed to be home to warlords, pirates and terrorists.
But in the north of the country, at least, the reality is different.
Somaliland is an autonomous enclave with its own flourishing capital city, Hargeisa. Though a long way off from receiving international recognition as an independent state, it is a haven of peace and stability when compared with the rest of Somalia.
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".
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.
In this exclusive two-part investigation, People and Power meets a community coming to terms with the horrors of the past and joins forces with a group of forensic investigators and human rights activists attempting to bring an alleged war criminal, Yusuf Abdi Ali, also known as Colonel Tukeh, to account.

This breaks my heart. My family fought as SNM. My heart will always belong to Somaliland
SNM killed thousands of innocents as well, there no better, even worse
@@fj1914 they killed ppl who supported the government sanctioned killing of issaqs
@@saidodteech2102 And the government killed those who rebelled? So who is better?
So you are the troll who does not even have somali name, Cleo Petra is that your name
Which is not recognized so your heart basically belongs to Somalia 🇸🇴
Somaliland should remain independent. I now understand the anger that my friends from Hargeisa were feeling whenever we discussed Somali politics. Sorry that you had to go through this my friends and the Somaliland people. Eritrean here.
They deserved it because the isaaq clan supported Ethiopia in war against their own Somali people in Ethiopia’s Ogaden region siad barre did good love him 🇦🇪❤️🇸🇴
@@daviroza4700 we didn’t? We fought hard against Ethiopia and we were one of the top contributors. Stop lying
@@sultanofsomaliland9332 im a Northern Unionist but we cant ignore the crimes at the close of the Barre years. RIP to the victims but Barre will be judged for his actions as will all men.
People of all clans died during the war, why can’t we forgive eachother & build a great somali weyn? The rwandans forgave eachother for the genocide on tutsis in 1994, when will we be able to forgive eachother?
@Justin Y. ethiopia are not, that was tplf and ethiopia arrested all of them. Afar and sitti dispute wasn't the government either. Somalia should take Ethiopia as a role model and also arrest its war criminals
May all who died and suffered from these atrocities find peace, may those whose hands are covered in innocent blood be served true justice one day.
What makes this so frustrating is the man who commanded the army you saw at the end is not being prosecuted and living his best life in America, no guilt shown at all.. he has the deaths of more people then Osama had on his hands, yet here he is, and everyone around him doesn’t know it in that apartment..
This is exactly why Somalis will never unite! Because there's still a large chunk of people who support the actions of tuke and other war criminals. Usually those are the ones who use the "Somali weyn card" the most
I agree
The leader of somaliland is himself a war criminal he massacred thousands in borama as a head of snm militia justice for all the victims
@@casura08 but muse bixi is a mujahid for them lol. The guy killed 100s of Garxajis which is with in the Isaq clan just to cling on power. U know thats why I hate Qabyalada it just never ends.
@@abdihussein5467 ...amazing see somaliwaines try to erase what siyad did. no 1000s massacred in borama, snm didnt take revenge againest you when you were part of siyad's forces. be grateful or people will remember that nxt time.
garxajis killed lot people too, so dont mention that.
@@aragti6060 lol you got it wrong. The so called SNM didn't even spare the lives of those who were married to their women. Innocent civilians who were not part of the government were massacred too just because of their Qabil. Atrocities were committed against the non- Isaqs living in Hargeisa and Berbara specially the Daroods. But remember the whole country got into a civil war people were killing each other left and right. The most important thing is to forgive each other and move on with our lives

😭😭 This crow killed my mother’s elder brother, I would also want justice..
the north remembers

I was born and raised in Gabiley until the age of 13 and I know many of the people featured in this documentary for those who are saying it is propaganda. These are real victims who seen at first hand the killings that happened in Gabiley. What upsets me the most is seeing to this day, people who support and defend these war criminals like Tukeh, Ali Samatar and Morgan. For all my Somalilanders do not wait for justice, we have already been served justice by Allah, alhamdulilah we are now such a peaceful and prosperous state while the rest of Somalia is in shambles. May Allah preserve our peaceful state .. Amiin
I think you are young girl and SNM militia has learned you at school wrong history. secondly the gedobursi, dhulbahante, some isaaq, warsangali they were for the somali government. so there was a civil war in whole Somalia, thus why are you different than other Somalis and it is called civil war
*What the Somali people need is a panel of internationally recognized judges from the Muslim world where everyone who was been mistreated and wronged can bring their evidence to and both the administrations of Somaliland and the government of Somalia should give them any and all powers they have to arrest and persecute such scoundrels, to the full extent of the law. Until this happens evil men on all sides will use this hurt in order to cause more hurt to our people as a whole.*
+Waryaa Heedheh umm the muslim world really isn't much better, what they need is democratically elected officials of their own to bring about the charges and see it through,
hitcan79
*They need impartial judges from abroad; I feel that I understand the depths of mistrust and the extent to which people will be pessimistic of the process; whether their doubts are founded on real or imagined facts of wrongdoing. It would surly present a much smother process if foreign judges where empowered by the people to carry out this task, of reconciling the Somali people and bringing justice for all the wrongs that were caused during and preceding the civil war.*

The only justice somaliland needs is to let them be recognized

You are liar you not from Borama !!! The SNM massacred our people during that war . We will never forget that horrors and what followed after the collapse of siad Bare regime because we feel we are like slaves to Isaq clan who dominate all the other clans in the formerly British Somaliland . We got no right to form a political party and our lands is confiscated by isaq clan so called government. I can't write all the atrocities this Somaliland government is causing ,most of the skeletons they dug out are the people the SNM killed . Therefore we believe one clan can not claim to separate the rest of Somalia and Somalia is one
@@tallmanjmd There are better ways to present your opinions instead of lying. No doubt that SNM had a war with Borama. However, they hadn't bombed the city and massacred people with jets. In Fact the people in Borama were helping the army that had destroyed cities Hargeisa, Burco which has led to more than 100 thousand deaths. Also SNM could have done the same massacre in Borama but they chose to get peace treaty. The people in Borama knows what happened and are one of us. We have forgotten and created democratic state with the rest.
Also, saying that you don't have political parties is simply untrea. If you are honest you will have known that the first president that has democratically elected was from Borama with his party, and please don't ly just to show a hatred

@Berberawi, What do you mean? We are talking History right, and what happened 30 years ago? I'm assuming you do not blame an entire tribe in Somalia still today? Because that will make you the same as those you are claiming to have hurt others in the past.
We need to separate the person from the tribe. Let us not blame every tribe for what some of it's members have done.
Doofar darood are guilty..we will have revenge soon.
+drobbah very sick in the head go and get treatment please
Why can't you blame an entire tribe? It's tribes that protect the culprits today. It's the tribes that make excuses for their crimes and it's tribes that are in denial.
go and try to bring
I'm from the Awdal state of SL but I honestly feel very sad to see this video and it makes me even more angry that Darood people are still living in our land. we the irri samales should kick the midgan out of our land and we should live in peace. Darood is the only reason why our country is still a failed state today, and that's why Somaliland wants to split away because they don't want to interfere with them but we need to do something about it and make greater Somalia happen again...

My fellow Somalis, it is indisputable we are from the same roots, share faith, race and culture. Apart from holding culprits to account for their actions, this is piece is history and teaches us a lesson, furnishes us with facts for us to establish a much healthier, stronger, more developed and close-knit Somali generation. The greatest lesson to be drawn is 'Mogadishu and Hargeisa can no longer share destiny under the same administration and flag'. Make peace with that!
No we dont share the same roots

@Mœ Błåck-Łivəs-Mattər thanks for your honest feelings I'm sure the young generation of Somalis have no idea about this mascara
I'm so sorry as a young Hawiye woman, I didn't know about this, and now I realise that somaliland more than deserve their independence.
KKK, sorry to say but is your man Isaaq? SNM was Isaaq Tribe only, Dhulbahante, Samaroon, and other tribes from the North they were pro government forces and fought with SNM. SNM hided in the civilian population and killed civilians and our government did the right decisions to liberate SNM Somali Naago Mingustu from our second capital Hargaysa and the Land of Somalia. Now the government collapsed Somali Naago Mingustu brought the North Somalia under alifle ethopian army garisle. So I think these Somalia Naago Mingustu need another siyaad barre so that they can cry again on TVs
Bandir mean land of dir

Thank you AlJazeera English Team and Aziz Dirie for uncovering the reality of a very huge massacre in which Siyad Barre Government committed against some particular tribes in the north. This history is very painful and thus unforgettable. After 25 years, it seems that the world would be familiar with the realities of our past.

thanks you understand why they are so angry and that is the reason they hate you
We don't hate you. We just want our history to be recognized.
It's hard for us to unite in one nation when a lot of people in the south still celebrate Siad barre or think that history should be forgotten like it never happened, like it was nothing. We can't erase history and it shouldn't be erased anyways.
+Ahlam Ali Exactly....we should first recognize what happened, condemn it, bring that murderer and many like him to justice and then may be we can move on...i was always against Somaliland becoming a separate country of its own but now may be i would advocate for that bcoz its hard to Unite after all that happened...to be honest they are a bit better than us for now, better economy and better security
+Degan Osman Well atleast you dont blame the actions of few on all the somalis....it pains me to see all this mass murder and brutal executions, i always thought it was other africans who were brutal and hate each other and that we Somalis are kind to each other and that we would never do that to our own but how wrong was I !!!

" If we didn't ask eachother what went wrong, then we are going to repeat the same mistakes again and again"
If Somaliland rejoined Somalia, they would make sure they continue the genocide until no one is left in the North, and my evidence is their comments on this section.

My grandmother told me all the darood had immunity card, and because the dhulbahante live with the isaaqs they were the snitch. One night the faqash came took my two uncle and today we here debating why did they die? They were family men, civilians n not armed...their crime?

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.

@@KhalidAbdinasir252 it was a genocide, no doubt about it.
@@KhalidAbdinasir252 Ciil Kuu Dhimo marehan 😁. Your comparing a few hundred majarteens to 200,000 Isaaqs? You need to see a therapist buddy.
One of the reasons I hate everything siad barre and his shaytan generals stood for. I lost a lot of uncles in galkacyo when he went to war with civilians in response to SSDF. May Allah rest all the lost souls and give them justice, what happened in hergaisa was a genocide and anyone who doesn’t recognize it is a tribalist.
I'm Ethiopian and it saddens me how we cause suffering to each other. It's so sad
I am amazed at how the ambassador of the U.S explained that they, and Britain were pulling the strings.. but there is no accountability there.
Thanks to Aljazeera for highlighting this Criminals against humanity, We all need justice.
Somaliland is doing good no war since it has broken away
2 of my grand uncles were murdered, executed. My great grandmother walked from Gebiley to Djibouti to escape these horrors. At one point, she was left under a tree alone with her goat (the only valuable she was able to bring) because she could not walk anymore, she managed to survive. And they still talk about unification. We have all suffered they say... perhaps. But how can they justify that some of the perpetrators of these crimes still walk free in Mogadiscio?
Brings back bad memories of 1988 Hargeisa and how we survived hiding from Somali government troops. Because if they caught us, we were surely be killed on spot without any questions. I know a lot of families and close friends who never made it.
wallahi i find it absolutely disgusting how some people and somalis themselves deny the atrocities that happened and the genocide that took place because of the tribe they are and how they are supposed to be opposites.
still people praising the evil siad barre saying allah will grant him jannah astagfirullah!!!!
Hi. Let make clear it wasn't atrocities. It was a pure genoside...
Ethnic cleansing..
Thanks aljazeera for spoting light on that dark era of my country's history
amazing documentary never forget
It is sad that this is part of our history and our ppl may never reunite because of this😢😢
But people have to know it was the government of that time who did that and he did more to the rest of the country too and we don't have to blame but that government of that time
@@yousefabdi934 true but Somalia's Government now still refuses to even acknowledge what happened.....yes it happened across the country but the North was Main target , completely destroyed and massive people died than anywhere else so basically it's a Genocide
@@zaynaby9445 I know what they did and every Somali person feels the pain it's something we will all never forget but to move on us people we mast be all better than the late generation what we do can make a difference
@@yousefabdi934 some south "reer Mogadishu " dont even sympathize the genocide I read a comment said that Siad barre could have wiped all north people out ....imagine the heart to say such to a person still grieving their lost one ....Somaliland was a country before reuniting with the south to form Somali weyn ...I would love for that to happen again but it's too late rn
@@yousefabdi934 Saxib the tribe that got the worst treatment was Isaaqs
too sad and depressing for me to watch
Best if you dont watch it, its pure secessionist propaganda
We won't forget this
Justice must be served
Maxey cadaladu noqonaysa nin tiktaator ah ayaa xasuuqaye, dictaatorada calamka oo dhan ba sa wax u xasuqijiray waxbana layskama weydiiyo sbbto ah hal nin aya sa wx u galay mana ahan Shacabkoo dhan
Somalilanders legends, heroes and survivors plz let your children know this and more..................... guul iyo gobonimo Somaliland 💚
Absolument vrai , un héritage d'histoire doit être laisser à la nouvelle génération dont je fais parti .
Guul iyo gobanimo JSL !
I am so sorry what happened to these people, May ALLAH rest their soul peace AMIN.
Allah is fake
@@waynebrown9564 your not even Somali or Muslim. 😂😂😂
At the end of the day we know barre is not going to heaven 🙏🏾
we must forgive only a few but never forget.
why must not forget if you are forgivin.
history is not made to be forgotten. life will not make sense otherwise
waxaad shalayto modatiyo mahadhada xasuusnoow halkii qorigu kaamuday marlabaad lugtaadiyo cagtu yaanay kula marin
It's like you are telling your own little brother who did mistake and asked you to forgive and you have accepted forgivin him but still admitting to him that but I will never forget. I mean come oooonnn brother it was mistake that our grand father's did I personally never yet born that time and I would love to see us unite so we don't give a chance to our enemies such as Ethiopia and kenya. I swear together we United somalia it's like five countries United.
Never forget and make them our slaves now kkkk.Dhulbuhante are the new palestinians kkkkkkk
#Somaliland populace will never relax, till all #perpetrators being brought before #justice! Would #IC act! Thanks Aljazira, for investigating and disseminating outside world atrocities SiadBarre regime done civilians resided Somaliland cities!
I cried Amit when i was watching this Video we'll never forget what they did on us!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am reading the comments and watching the video and everything is just really sad and disappointing. I thought Somalia is a Muslim country, where is the Islam here. What I still can not grasp is people getting killed simply because they are from a different tribe. The Somali tribe is still having its affect on people till this day. So why do we not just abolish the whole thing. It has and still has not done us any good.
Great Thankfull Aljazera For Displaying This Vedio😊
Proud to be Somalilander
💚⚪💗
I poured to be a khatumo state and I'm proud to be a Somalia
Dhilo hooyda faqashka ada heede was
The govt of Somalia hasn't apologized to this day for what they have done...And they want us to be united with them when farmaajo grants medal of honour to captain morgan
Apologize for what? Are they the ones who did this? Fool! You count for 50,000 people who were killed in Hargeisa and ignore the millions of somalis killed across somalia by the same civil wars and warloads!
Dont be misguided we are all victims as a nation!
May Allah have mercy upon all those innocent people!
@@omarionshev798
You are right.
@@omarionshev798 nah you are wrong clan infighting and the resulting casualties are not on the same scale as a government funded genocide. Of course the current government should at least apologise as they are a continuation of that same government who orchestrated it.
@@ZshacZap your reasoning is flawed !
How is the government of Somalia responsible for that massacre ? Is it that they happen to be in Mugadisho where Siad Barre's capital was tht they are responsible for whatever he did ?
We all feel sorry for all our brothers killed across Somalia ...
We should keep them in our prayers and leave the judging for Allah
@@omarionshev798 well they deny it when everyone else classifies it as a genocide so they should apologise as the representative of somalia
Acknowledgement will be the Key of reconciliation
Never
im Really Sad im Oromo from Ethiopia you deserve a better country Somaliland
2020 Farmaajo and His government want us to just forget and reunite with them.
We will never forget nobody respects Faarmajo not NFD Kenya not Jubaland not Galmudug not Ogaden not even the government of Somalia my president Muse Biixi will have Faarmajo locked up in seconds If he dared to enter the boarders of Somaliland your not a Somalilander your not isaaq so mind your business
@@overtothisside504 who you talking to?
What has being a Somalilander got to do with being Isaaq?
@@ashoahmed7391 I never said that Somaliland is only issaq but the 88 genocide was an issaq genocide and we the issaq clan feel for the atrocities that had been done to our people so there's no way that you can possibly understand
may Allah bless my Somali brothers
We Never forget this sad History
WE will never forget,never forgive and never stop sharing
I want anyone who is not Somali to read the comments from those people who are from Somalia. To this day their hatred still denies the atrocities and crimes that took place. The constant gaslighting is even worse in the Somali language. It's like a German denying the crimes that took place in the holocaust and then blaming the victims, this is the mentality that still exists in Somalia. They will blame everyone but themselves for the massacres and decades of oppression that they inflicted on the people of Somaliland and specifically the Isaaq people. We will never forget.
Well done al jaziira how come you never mentioned how many people were brutally murdered in the south somalia media is the best way to create hatred and fight
basicly this programm was talking about 1 face in war..millions of Somalis dies in all Somalia..others millions dies in refuges camps for differents reasons.
Somalis are sufferning not matter which klan or where..everybody got hurt.
and soon or later Somalis will disapear from the map and become apart of Ethopia..like Ogadenia.!
wake up young Somalis and stop racism..klans interes dont work in international level.
only we can survive if we be all real Somali or to be real muslims.
other wise welcome Ethopia.
Dont give them money
the history is defined we never forget the bloodish genocide happened in our people in Somaliland Republic
Walhi i cried lot i can't forget this walhi
Justice will be served for Somaliland we just have to be patient
True brother im very sorry for what happend in Somaliland justice will be served in jawm al qiyamah im majeerteen but my heart lies with isaaq ❤️
@@SalX22 you do know we're a country right? If you don't then your part of the problem
@@overtothisside504 Somaliland has not been recognized by any other country so officially it is not a country
Waadku mahadsanthy aljazeera 💜💫 am from somaliland
Sad to say that, one of the gunman ( Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo ) who committed this atrocity is now a president of Southern Somalia.
