The ethnic cleansing of the Isaaq people began as early as 1974 to 1975 when drought conditions enabled the Somalian government to relocate Isaaqs to southern Somalia.

Less than three years later that same government resettled the majority of Ogadeni refugees from Ethiopia into Somaliland (northwest), particularly the Hargeisa region, with additional camps scattered in remote areas. This puzzled international observers who questioned why refugee settlements were appearing in such isolated parts of Somaliland (northwest).

Most Somalian and international funding was funneled toward Somaliland (northwest) and by 1984 the United States government recognized that this was less a humanitarian refugee project than a deliberate settlement project.

In 1974 to 1975 Isaaqs were moved out and by 1977 to 1978 Ogadeni refugees were moved in, an unmistakable act of ethnic cleansing carried out under the cover of international aid.


The same region that was emptied of isaaqs only three years prior was flooded with Ethiopian refugees
