THREAD 🧵: On Muammar Gaddafi’s foreign policy in the Middle East-Africa and blasphemous remarks about Islam

In 1981, a pact was signed between Libya, South Yemen, and Ethiopia. This pact aimed to assassinate Siad Barre and Gafaar Numeiry, and to destabilize Arab nation-states such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Iraq, Chad, Oman and Sudan.

A Must read thread, read along Muammar Gaddafi came into power via a military coup in 1969 September, a month earlier than Siad Barre ( 21st October 1969)

Gaddafi became the first Arab leader to support Iran over Iraq, one of Gaddafi’s main goals in Iraq was the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

In December 1982 a memorandum of understanding on “ cooperation in political, cultural and economic fields” was signed between Libya and Iran, Libya also supplied financial aid to Iran.

During the Iraq-Iran war, Gaddafi also supported Kurdish rebels fighting on behalf of Khomeini

THREAD 🧵: In the 16th century a collective of multiple Somali clans waged a holy war against Abyssinia, this was documented by a Arab writer. 1/17

Somaliland Separatists like @thebhlub are now trying discredit Somalis from Adal history. In this thread I’ll completely disassociate Adal from “Somaliland heritage” & Isaaqs being apart of the conquest of Abyssinia.

THREAD 🧵: Analysing the military operations of the SNM and the human rights violations committed by the SNM

In the early 1980s shortly after the Ogaden war, an insurgency was waged by an Ethiopian backed rebel group named the SNM 🇪🇹

This thread will be one of the most detailed threads on the war between the government and the SNM that occurred during the early 1980s up to the fall of government.

Prelude: The SNM was founded by a Prominent Isaaq Christian named Abdi Dihoud he founded the SNM 1981 in London.

Abdi Dihoud was the cousin of Edna Adan, (former wife of the former prime minister Egal ) and a close associate of Michael Mariano, who was also a another prominent Isaaq Christian.

The motives of the SNM according to US 🇺🇸 remained unclear and unknown, some speculated that it was lack of political representation.

In 1945 during World War 2 the United States dropped 2 nuclear weapons in Japan, the death toll is estimated to be 90k to 146k

Isaaqs claim that In 2 years, Siad Barre Genocided 50k to 250k Isaaqs during the Civil war

THREAD 🧵: Debunking the Isaaq Genocide & the lies of SNM Foundings: The SNM was founded and created by Ethiopia, one of the instrumental leaders of the SNM was a Christian named Abdi Dihood, he was Edna Aden’s cousin, who her mother was also Christian

Addressing the false existence of Habar Magadle in Futuh Al Habesh
In this thread I’ll completely debunk @thebhlub 🧵

I’ll also prove that Habar Magadle is simply a misspelling of Habar Maqdi

THREAD🧵:

https://x.com/thebhlub/status/1656461109828698113?s=46&t=UMLDOYZqi4Nb0VSSmxP9_A

Bhlub cites a French contemporary book in his thread trying to prove that Habar Magadle was real. The French contemporary book gives a commentary on Futuh Al Habesh

The same French researchers mention 13 somali clans that participated in the imams conquest. However
