Talk:Somali Civil War

message: Is there any evidence of the United States funding or supporting the USC? I bring this up because I really think we should look into this, especially considering the Cold War was technically still going on, and the US had a staunch anti-communist and anti-soviet policy until the end.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.228.5 (talk) 00:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

text: Isn't it a proper noun? We appear to use capitals for other wars, such as World War II (which I don't think I've ever seen rendered in lower case, anywhere), Cambodian Civil War, Bosnian War, etc. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:05, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: See Syrian civil war, Myanmar civil war (2021–present), Afghanistan conflict, Iraqi conflict (2003–present), Mexican drug war for some recent examples that the "war" isn't capitalized.  - Tbf69 🛈 🗩 13:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. I think perhaps the "conflict" ones are different, since conflict is less specific than war, but the others show that we have some inconsistency between articles. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:37, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move 5 March 2023 

message: I've been working on a draft for the period of the Somali Civil War between Barre's fall and the withdrawal of UNOSOM. I may change the scope to just between Barre's fall and the beginning of UNITAF, or expand it from Barre's fall to the creation of the TFG, idk. If anyone could help with this, though, that'd be appreciated. Posting this to WP:SOMALIA's talkpage to gather more participation - presidentofyes, the super aussa man 17:53, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

message: If that is so, why are there literally no news reports covering this development? Or in that case why the timeline doesn't mention that it has been recaptured?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gorgedweller (talk • contribs) 07:54, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jamame under government control? 

message: There are egregious claims that Al-Shabaab is still in places like Diinsoor which they were expelled by Amisom 9 years ago and current disputes are handled by the South-West State of Somalia, so the area connecting Diinsoor and Baidoa should be marked red.
The road between between Baidoa and Mogadishu, notabally including towns like Buur Hakaba, should be marked as red, albeit with Al-Shabaab presence in rural areas
Along the Somali-Kenyan border, the area arounf Geriley should be marked as under government allied control, and since the entire border region is under vague control it should be striped.
Beyond that, the Northern areas of Somalia. Namely Khatumo state should only be marked as controlling Talex, Laascaanood, and Buudhoodle. With the Northern and Western parts of the claimed territory under Puntland and Somaliland control respectivily. Emx0264 (talk) 08:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
