36 years ago today, 20th December 1984 at 07:00 in the morning the Faqash regime summarily executed 43 men in #Burco

The martyrs were elders, businessmen, religious people and civil servants. They were martyred because of their clan. A bleak day for Burco.

The Faqash regime wanted to break the morale of the people of #Burco and murder our very best. They apprehended the martyrs in a forceful manner and executed them without any trial. Their only crime was being Isaaq. Image
Here are the martyrs names. A few names are missing.

Remember that a Martyr never dies! Look at #Somaliland and #Burco today. Free from terror and occupation, liberated through the struggle and blood of martyrs.
