Somaliland's Forgotten Genocide

The Nation published on 22 October 2018 an article titled "In the Valley of Death: Somaliland's Forgotten Genocide" by Ismail Einashe and Matt Kennard, both investigative journalists.

Between 1987 and 1989, the Siad Barre regime in Somalia massacred an estimated 200,000 members of the Somali Isaaq clan in northwest Somalia. The authors assert that the United States, which was allied with Somalia at the time, turned a blind eye to Siad Barre's abuses.
