Keywords: Genocide of somali people in the hands of the warlords.

 A somalian point of about the genocide which is going in somalia, who has
 been affected by the pain, diseases, hunger suffering of his people, and 
 destruction of his country caused by the oppression and division of the
 past dictator, and the warlords who want to inherit his footsteps.
 Why did I compare between the past dictator and the present warlords.
 Under 21 years of the dictatorship Somali people were divided into
 three categories.  
	A.	Those who were in jail
	B.	Those who have been brain-washed
	C.	Those who left their motherland for their safety
 Life under the warlords those who did not die for the diseases and 
 hunger will die for bullets and wounds.  Those of you who watch TV or
 read newspapers did not need to explain the situations for the past 
 two years.  For those of you who consent the tragedy of the Somali   
 people and inspired me at last to write a short background of those
 killers (warlords).  I would like to thank you from the bottom of my
 heart for your involvement and say to you keep our hopes alive.  
	Here are some backgrounds of the warlords after they chased the
 brutal dictator so called leaders or what we Somalis called elders who 
 had benefitted siyaad Barres's regime, immediately appointed acting 
 president Ali Mahdi who his wife was a secretary or clerk of Siyaad
 Barre personal office for the past 18 years.  He then immediately 
 appoints a prime minister 'Omar Arteh Galib', an ex-foreign minister
 of Syaad Barre who introduced the people of the country to call Syaad
 Barre "father of the country" and those who did not call to go to jail.
       Omar Jees the head of spm was a young colonal who had hope to get
 a position inthe army or the government after the death of his older
 brother, who held a minister in 4 or 5 cabinet post before his death
 (in an accident), and later became "rebel of the cause of cabinet 
 position".
	General Mohamad Farah Aidid - "Revenge Minded" - who have served 
 jail in late 1969 until 75.  Then serve as a military attrache in 
 Turkey after his release, and serve several other positions including
 his final post as ambassdor of Somali in India, before heading U.S.C.
 commander after he lost his position as an ambassafor.  Aidid, Siyaad
 Barre and Italian minister had been involved one of the worst money
 scandals in Italian history.
	Mohamad Saeed Morgan the son-in-law, the body=-guard, who is one
 of the fastest generals of Siyaad Barre's relatives, and tthe reason 
 was to crash the political dissendents of the north and the central part
 of the country, who had at that time were the strongest opponents or to
 say understood his backward ideology of divide and rule which he 
 inherited the colonial era that he use to work for, before the
 independence of the country.
	The last but not the least, the head of SNM, "Abdirahman 
 Tuur" who himself an exminister of Siyaad Barre, who enjoyed his position
 when he was a member of the club, while his boss was hiring a South
 African pilots to bomb innocent people of Hargesia.  As usual after
 he lost his cabnet position he became vocal opposition of that government.
 Now he is preaching a secession of the northern partof the country,
 when we are trying to put the pieces together as we missing the western
 part of the Somalia (Ogaden), and southern part of Somalia (NOrthern
 frontier district. NFD) and that shows you how unpatriotic, selfish
 and irresponsible these warlords are.
	How can we prevent these genocide act that is taking place in 
 Somalia, is to call your representative of congress if you are American
 citizen or if you are not American citizen please call your U.N.  
 representitive to put the pressure the U.N. security counsil to set up a
 Nuremberg type court and should be tried these people (warlords) for
 the crimes against humanity.
