Do NOT ask me what genocide. Do not.
It is your opinion that "everyone suffered equally" from Barre's rule, but that is just your opinion.
Everyone suffered EVENTUALLY [and some here more directly than others], but the difference is the path people chose after. Some said never again, some said one more time.
I am not going to pick over the semantics of what is North and what is South, that's ridiculous.

What do you mean, 'do NOT ask me what genocide'?, I have uncles and male relatives who died under Barre's dictatorship, what exactly is your horse in this matter? Many people suffered under his rule, but none of this can be termed 'genocide', and if you actually read journals and studies on this issue instead of 'fadhi ku dirir' small talk of the Somali cafes and restaurants, you'd be well aware of the invididuals behind the crackdowns and their affilations.

I had my say, not really interested in this discussing any further.
